Exercise Breaks

How to play

Start by marching in place, and follow directions in the music, clapping hands on claps, and singing with song.

Every time they say “Polly Wolly Doodle All Day,” wiggle arms and body down to touch the floor and jump back up.

Gesture with each arm as you sing “Come Along” and march in place.

At end of song jump feet apart and end in Jumping Jack shape.

Set Up for Success

This dance can be done in a circle or with the teacher facing the class. Help the children find their dance space by having them hold their arms out at shoulder level. If they can touch someone they need to spread out away from each other.
