Discussion questions

Move and talk

  1. Which travelling move was fastest -- marching, jogging, or running on the spot?
  2. How did you stay in your own space safely?
  3. When have you used moves like these in a game outside?

Quick work-a-long

Try it: March on the spot slowly, then speed up to a jog, then slow back down -- like a car changing gears.
