Have the students jog in place.
When you say “cheetah” they must jog fast for three seconds.
When you say swim, they must move their arms like they are swimming.
When you say tree, they must reach high and pretend they are climbing a tree.
Have them sit down with their legs stretched in front. Have them reach for their toes, keeping their knees straight, and count out loud to five getting closer each number. Do the same for the middle stretch (sitting with their legs apart) and the side stretches (reaching to each leg).
Have them bring their legs in with their feet touching each other (butterfly position). Have the move their knees up and down like they are wings on a butterfly. This takes the little sting out from the stretches.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 one more time and you are ready to begin you drills.
