Lunge Hoop Game

For this warm up we allow the children to move freely around the playing area while they perform particular movements in response to various vocal prompts
Teacher calls, “Bear Crawl” children move randomly around the hall on all fours with knees and shins slightly elevated off the ground, trying to keep a flat back.
Teacher calls “Crab Walk” opposite of Bear Crawl, children are now facing upwards crawling on feet and hands
Teacher calls “Frog Jumps” children jump off two feet and land on two feet.
Teacher calls “Inch Worm” children start in upright position and walk out on their hands then slowly “inch” their feet behind them.
Teacher calls “Bear to Crab” students rotate from static bear crawl position to static crab position.
Teacher calls “ Lizards” students crawl close to the ground pulling knees up close to their chest and the ground as they move.
Allow 20-30 seconds max for each movement and complete 2-3 rounds.

Divide group into teams.
Give a hoop to each member of the team plus one extra hoop for the team.
