Workout
- Clear floor space to be able to move around and perform
- Have a sheet of paper and pencil on stand by for later

INSTRUCTION:

WARM UP (Introduction, opening activity, activation strategies…):

Do some wiggles/shake and loosen up. Ask your students who could show you
examples of what they think steady beats are. Today we will learn a song about
counting to 20 and “workout”.
MIDDLE (steps of your lesson):
1. Teacher- shows them the whole song and each movement that we will make
after we count to 20.
2. Students learn the song by echoing the lines and movements, then the entire
song.
3. Explain to your students the rhythm of the song.
- 4 beats: ta ta ti-ti ta ta ta ti-ti ta ta ta ti-ti ta ta ta ti-ti ta
- 1 2 3-4 5 - 6 7 8-9 10 - 11 12 13-14 15 - 16 17 18-19 20
- you can clap or stomp while you perform the rhythm before you get into the
actual song
4. Sing the song together as a class, move around the room, twisting, crisscrossing,
clap and stomp and twirling a lasso.
5.Just to switch it up, make up new dances such as jumping to the beat of
counting numbers.
6. Make 2 groups and make one group count and the other move/dance (vice
versa).
7. After about 3-4 rounds, switch.
8. Move back to your seats.
9. Grab a piece of paper and write down a sentence explaining the beats with
numbers such as, “The rooster crows 4 times”, “The baseballs are hit 17 times”,
etc.

WRAP UP/REVIEW/CLOSURE (How will you close your lesson? Include any
review questions you might use):
Teacher asks the class to share a few of their examples. Review ta ta ti-ti ta. Sing
the song one for time and dismiss the class.

REFLECTION: (To be completed after you teach. What would you keep, change, or
modify in your lesson if you taught it again? This part is for you. It does not need to be
submitted to your instructor).
