SETUP

Put the students in small groups of 4 or 5 kids. Have each group form a small circle facing each other. They should not be very tight in their circle as they will need space in the middle of the circle to exercise. Give each child a number to represent when it is their turn to go.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. When ready, the first child in the group must state their name out loud in the center of the circle.
2. Once they say their name, they perform an exercise of their choice.
3. When completed, they return to their place on the circle.
4. The next child goes to the middle and must state the previous person’s name and perform their exercise. Next, they must state their name and perform a different exercise and then return to their spot on the circle.
5. This pattern continues until all the kids have gone, building on each time.
6. After a few minutes, mix up the circles so they are with some new students.

Each child should perform 1 rep of each exercise.
