Next, they should move about the hall, still bouncing with their feet together. On the teachers signal, the children should run anywhere in the hall, find another spot and bounce up and down in that spot. Repeat. As children are running, teacher should clap hands for the children to jump and land on two feet.

Start the exercise by asking the children to run around and then stop before making themselves small. Ask the children the different sides they can curl up on e.g. bottom, side, feet etc.

The next stage is to demo to the children how you would roll over sideways then back on to your knees again. Ask the children to stretch up high, ensuring that you stretch the fingers and toes.
