Lesson Objective(Psychomotor and/or Cognitive): Practicing sequencing and coordinating various movements to music.

You may need to offer ideas to those students who are having difficulty creating a move. Remind them it can be any movement, dance or exercise related. Remind students that they are expected to respect all moves that are demonstrated and the students who demonstrate them.

Have students find a self-space and clap and move to the beat in that space for the duration of the song. Let them know it can be any movement, from an exercise such as jumping jacks, to shrugging one's shoulders, to just moving one's feet. The teacher may do some different movements to give students different ideas (walking forward 4 steps and back 4 steps, grapevine to the right, to the left, etc.).

Once the song has been played one time, let students know they will all be putting their various movements together, adding each person's movement to the next until they have a whole sequence of movements. Each student may now take a few minutes to make up a movement to perform to eight beats of the song. After they have their movements down, they are to find another classmate and "teach" their movement to the other. After those partners have successfully put their "moves" together, they are to find a different partner and "teach" their two moves to each other and put them all together. Give students a few minutes to work on this and observe to see students who are having difficulties.Now, bring all students together in lines facing the same direction. Each student will now teach his or her movement to the whole class. After one student "teaches" the class their move. The class will practice it without the music and then with the music. Then another student will teach the class a different move. The class will practice that move without the music, then add it to the first move without music, and then practice both moves with the music. The pattern continues until all students have had the opportunity to teach their movement.
