Instructional Suggestions:
To keep students engaged and focused during the workout, consider:
Setting clear expectations for movement transitions and freeze dance poses.
Encouraging students to make creative choices during the "Would You Rather" scenarios.
Providing modifications for students with different mobility levels or abilities.
For students who need alternative ways to participate:
Offer seated versions of exercises for students who may have difficulty standing or moving quickly.
Allow students to choose alternative movements that suit their comfort level while still participating in the activity.
Extension Ideas (optional):
After the brain break, engage students in a discussion about their favorite activities or movements from the workout. Ask them to reflect on how different exercises made them feel and which they found most enjoyable. This can also tie into lessons on personal preferences or teamwork when making group exercise choices.
