DESCRIPTION

Put the benches away.

Ask the children to walk slowly backwards, looking over their shoulders and not bumping into each other. The children must then stop and lay down - very still.

The teacher will then move around the class and when they touch a child on the head that child must demonstrate their favourite movement of the lesson.
