Purpose of Activity: To try a new spin on an old favorite and get some exercise while having fun! Prerequisites: N/A Suggested Grade Level: K - 5 Materials Needed: Recording of the Hokey Pokey; Record player or CD player; Small dumbells or dyna-bands Description of Idea Hokey Pokey Aerobics Put your right foot in (lunge forward on the right leg) Put your right arm in (extend arm at the elbow) Put your right elbow in (elbow flexed, forearm parallel to the ground, flex shoulder away from body) Put your head in (slowly touch chin to chest) Put your right hip in (side jump in) Put your whole self in (forward jump in) Put your backside in (backward jump in) backwards Do the Hokey Pokey, do the Hokey Pokey, ending – can do regular ending or have students pick their favorite exercise. End with a partner high five! Variations: Can add light hand weights or dynabands for older children to expand or challenge. Assessment Ideas: Have students check their heart rates before the dance and again after to see if there are any changes in their heart rate during exercise. Have them note any other body changes (i.e., hot, sweaty, heavy breathing, etc.) Ask students to create their own "Hokey Pokey" dance using their own movements. Have them label their activities and identify which are cardiovascular, muscular strength and endurance or as flexibility. Teaching Suggestions: Have students in scattered formation and in their own self space so they can see the teacher. Give ownership to students after you have created it by having them modify and give new examples to add on to the dance. |
