Entrance Routine |
This entrance routine is specific to your school community. | |
Part 1Warm-up/Review |
Warm Up with Hap Palmer’s Bean Bag Song. There is a chance to practice throwing and catching the bean bag (which we all love to do!) and there is opportunity to practice identifying body parts. | Assessment
You can use the Bean Bag Song to pre-assess the children’s body awareness of their individual body parts. |
Part 2New skill or conceptTraveling with the bean bag balancing on various body parts |
Transition from the song to part 2. Instead of being in own space as they balance the bean bag on their body parts, they will travel around room space.

Part 3Practice
Problem Solving and Cooperative Skills |
When I say go, I want you to choose a body part to balance the bean bag on. When I say freeze, stop, and think of another body part to balance the bean bag on before I say go again.
(Do this activity at least three or four times.) Frozen Bean Bag Begin with everyone having a bean bag on their head. The bean bag is the battery. Without it the students have no power to move around. They may not touch their own battery. As they move around the space, they will try not to let the bean bag fall off their heads. If it does fall off, they must remain frozen in place until someone who has their battery intact, comes to save them. They must place the bean bag back on the frozen persons head. If the bean bag falls off the head of the helper, they are frozen too, and must wait for someone to help them before they can continue to help the person they were helping! The students may not cause other peoples bean bags to fall off on purpose, since that is defeating the whole idea of the game. Hint: Suggest to the class that they will either all win or not win as a team. If at the end of the activity, everyone has their bean bag on their head, the whole class wins. So try to help people as quickly as possible. As the game goes on, call out different parts to place the battery. |
Teaching Tip
Call out the various body parts the children are balancing the bean bag on. Call out the cool ways you see the children traveling as they are balancing the bean bag. |
Part 4
Stretching & closure |
Choose 3 stretches to do with the class. Ask them to put away the bean bags and get a mat to stretch on.
