Safety Considerations
  • Make sure students are at arms length apart so they don't bump into each other.
  • Have students stand in a semi-circle around you so they can see clearly.
  • Make sure the floor is free of any obstructions.

Instructions

Children stand on the spot singing and performing the movement you ask (e.g. shake, wiggle, hop, jump, dance, etc).

  • Sing this song:

Shake, shake, shake your sillies out-
Shake, shake, shake your sillies out-
Shake, shake, shake your sillies out-
And wiggle your worries away.

  • Vary the activity by singing the song with different words (Hop, hop, hop your sillies out; jump, jump, jump your sillies out; dance, dance, dance your sillies out).
  • Keep the kids moving for about 30 counts.

Accommodations/Modifications
  • If you have physically disabled students in your class, do the activity while sitting. Options include: wiggle, swing (arms), sway, etc.
