Sub Plan​
​
Start with Standing, Breathing, and Sitting (together)
I start every class with this.
Hold your fingers up like a conductor ready to conduct.
When the class is ready,
raise your hands with palms facing up,
signalling for the class to stand together.
Once the class is standing ask a student to demonstrate a breath.
​
Pick 2-3 of the following:
​
​ Basketball Breath
Baseball Breath
Bowling Ball Breath
Noodle Breath
Dragon Breath
During the breath activities, you can exhale with different sounds
("ssss" or "zzzz" or "shhh" for example).
