Spring in your step activities may include (but are not limited to):
- 5 minute mediation with yoga (warm up).
- Evidence based movement games to promote emotional regulation - stuck in the mud, cone catcher, good cop bad cop, grab the cone, through the hoop, relay surprise etc... These fundamental movement activities not only promote children's coordination, athletic ability and concentration but also offer the opportunity to escape the seriousness the school environment often brings.
- Fundamental movement skills competitions such as balancing, racing, throwing, plank, skipping... creating a sense of competition adds an element of excitement for the students and ensures fun all round.
- Challenging yet ability appropriate obstacle courses as part of a team... This is where the students put all of the fundamental movement skills practiced throughout the session to use all at once in a fun, engaging and competitive way.
- 5 minute reflection and moment of gratitude with yoga (cool down). Here the students have the opportunity to express what they liked/disliked about their session. We also encourage the students to say two things they are grateful for as a form of meditation and relaxation after their energy guzzling session. This five minute cool down resets the energy levels and emotions for heading back into the classroom environment.
