Rocking Game Called, Stop the Rock
This simple rocking game is similar to freeze dance. Turn on some music and jump into a simple Star Pose and start rocking back and forth. When the music stops you freeze! It's a great way to measure social distancing with friends while having fun!
Freeze!!
Could you balance on one foot? Or did you fall? Either way, it's all for fun!

All Good Things
Here's another way to get in a little movement during your school day, even at home. Lead the children in a little verse called, All Good Things.
Reach to the sky and twinkle your fingers while saying: All good things...
rain down ...
on me...
All good things grow up..
through me...
All good things...
surround me!
