What this activity helps teachers do
Keep pupils active in the music
Copy safe movements, count, stretch, change speed, stay in personal space and reset posture.
Use a clear teaching route
Offer seated upper-body versions, reduce stretch range, pause between sections, model slowly and let pupils join with one repeated movement first.
