Active Movement Facilitation & Classroom Safety Plan
GRADE 3
8-10 Min • Warm-Up
1. Safe Field Setup
- • Clear Lanes: Push chairs fully under desks. Aisles must be free of bags.
- • Define Sides: Point to "Side A" (Left) and "Side B" (Right) clearly.
- • Walk Only: Enforce the "Soft Footprints" rule—no running/sliding.
- • Bubbles Up: Keep arms slightly bent to maintain safety bubbles.
2. Flow Signals
Whistle Blow / Double Clap: Freeze immediately and look at the screen for choices.
Action Signal (Go!): Start repeating the designated movement on your side.
Pacing: 15 seconds to move, 20-30 seconds of high-energy movement.
3. Adaptations
- Low Impact: Sit at desks and mimic with arm motions if space or mobility is limited.
- High Challenge: Ask kids to count down from 30 backwards or count by 3s while moving.
