I will be teaching elementary students a progressive dynamic warm-up. Is that too soon to be teaching locomotor movements? Some ideas are lunges, arm circles, neck rotations, caricoa, high knees and butt kicks. Do you have any ideas that could make the warm-up more fun to get the students more excited? |

well, what i like to use music for warming up. through the rythm of the music, i will give them a comand (jump like a kangoroo, run like a car, walk in the moon, etc.). every time the music stop, the have to freeze to wait for the next comand. They really enjoy that just because of the music. Be creative, use diferents characters, animals, objects, movements like the ones you mention here |

I am currently participating in field at an elementary level. The warm-up that my mentor teacher does must include locomotor skills and dynamic stretches. They respond to it very well. I was actually very impressed the first day of field to see how quickly the new kindergarten class picked up the skills. One warm-up that I did with Kindergarten and 1st grade was performing their locomotor skills at various levels as animals. Encourage them to pick animals that would travel at the different levels after you call out a locomotor skill. Having them make the noises of the animals makes it even more fun! |
