Use a bodyshield for various strikes. Have the kids get in a circle and when you call their names they go to the center of the circle, find the target and fire the techniques on it.
Round one: jab, cross 10 slow sec. each child
Round two: grab the target and knee strike it. 10 sec. each child
Round three: Front kick the target 10 sec. each child
* Have all of the kids count with you to ten, out loud. With 8 kids in class this drill may take about 10 minutes.
Practice low and high blocks vs. the blockers or noodles.
Line kids up side by side. Have them practice low blocks with you for a minute and the same with high blocks. Let them know that you are going to randomly sneak up on them and they have to block your attack.
Round one: low attack ( really wind up so they see it coming)
Round two: high attack ( once again really make it obvious that it is coming)
Round three: swing at their feet and have them jump over.
Round four: mix up all of the attacks at a fast pace.
