Objectives:
- Identify and memorize the days of the week
- Improve motor skills and endurance
- Count from one to seven
Setting:
Stand in front of your seat or spread out in open area
Activity:
Learn the days of the week as you reach, run, tap, pat, stretch, bend, twist, turn and jump with
the "Weekly Rap." We'll go through the days three times - on the third time get ready to speed things up!
Monday, Monday, reach and run day
Tuesday, Tuesday, tap your shoes day
Wednesday, Wednesday, stretch and bend day
Thursday, Thursday, twist and turn day
Friday, Friday, jump up high day
Saturday, Saturday, pat your body day
Sunday, Sunday, that's the one day
We can rest and do nothing at all
Now clap, clap, clap for the weekly rap
Count to seven and do it again
(Repeat first verse)
Now clap, clap, clap for the weekly rap
Count to seven and pick up speed !
(Repeat first verse with faster tempo)
Now clap, clap, clap, for the weekly rap
Count to seven and that's the end
Follow up:
- Feel your heart before you start this activity, then feel it again after doing the
activity. Is it beating faster? Do you know why?
- In your own time, do the motions in order. Now try it in slow motion. Now
do the opposite and show me the fastest speed you can go.
