I was wondering recently how energizers would look in a grade 6/7 class and was given some neat ideas. Then today Chyanne gave me such a fun idea. When she was in her classroom observing, her CT told all the kids that they were going to do a quiz..and as this wasn't on the schedule they all were annoyed and made the 'aawwweee really' whine. Then she went over turned the lights out and the SMARTboard on to reveal a Just Dance game.....they are on YouTube. (I think she is in Grade 5/or 5/) anyways they loved it!! Even a girl with crutches was dancing! So just thought I would share this neat idea....that covers DPA, an energy booster and a bit of fine arts (dancing and coordination). Check it out!!!
Awesome Dance Video
I think DPA is a great way to give students a break from sitting and sponging up information. Small art activities throughout the day could serve a similar function.
ReplyDeleteI loved these movement breaks in that same class. I was really impressed with how much the kids got into it, even the boys!
