  • Place markers all around the hall floor to aid the children in finding space.

    • The lesson starts with the children running lightly around the hall into spaces - no bumping or touching. The next progression is for the children to run lightly on their toes to all areas of the hall before then running using small steps.

    Ask the children to then run using large steps / strides and stop like a statue on the command from the teacher.

    key 0 warm-up:

  • Get the children to stand in a circle around the teacher.

    • The teacher stands in the middle of the circle and the children copy their actions. Start by shaking their head from side to side slowly, then lift shoulders up and down.

    Shake 1 hand in the air (high / low) then the other and then both hands. Wiggle bottom, shake one foot then the other. The next stage is to lie on the floor and play run / sit /stand game.
