- Activity Description:
- Working as a team to create the ‘wave’, this stretching activity is a great way to get students cooperating while involving them in leading a fun stretching session.
- Overview:
-
- Have students form a circle arms length apart from the person next to them.
- Each circle made requires a teacher/student leader to lead a series of stretches.
- The leader starts off by demonstrating and holding a stretch.
- One at a time, in a clockwise direction, the students follow the lead of the leader and perform and hold the stretch, creating a wave around the circle.
- When the stretch reaches the last person, the leader starts a new stretch. Students should hold the previous stretch until the new stretch comes to them.
- Circle size and number of groups required should be monitored to ensure each student is holding the stretch for approximately 10 to 15 seconds.
