If a class is working on a particular locomotor skill, the teacher can use that skill throughout the entire song. For instance, it is possible to skip during each segment and jump on the "Goodness gracious great balls of fire" phrase.

Teachers can observe that locomotor skills are being performed correctly and that the students are moving to the rhythm of the song. If the class has discussed target heart zones, students can take their pulse and talk about cardiovascular movements.
