They love the challenge! If a student doesn’t make it under, I don’t have them sit out.

I start pretty high so everyone can get through, but then we slowly make it harder for them. That’s the B section.įor the C section, I get out my largest Boomwhacker and have the student do limbo in the circle. After the swivels, we do a jump in then clap, then a jump out and clap. The B section is swivel movement with their feet, and I give a more helpful visual in my YouTube video. The A section is a “step, touch, cha cha cha” twice in a row. All of the lessons I cover in this blog are also discussed more in depth on my YouTube channel! Be sure to check it out!įirst up, my 5th and 6th graders love Limbo Rock! We set a beach theme with some music, and the dance itself has three different parts. Specials are their “break time” during the testing time so by the time they get to us, they’re ready to move! I try to stick to easier movement activities rather than complicated folk dances.

Movement activities are so helpful during testing season because they need to wiggle. By this point your students are exhausted from testing, so these lessons are easy to prepare and get your students moving. Testing is upon us, and I want to share with you six easy movement lesson ideas that will let your students have fun without needing to use too much brain power.
