Teaching Tips & Activity Context:
Join Coach Corey Martin on a thrilling Bear Hunt, Dino Hunt, & Shark Hunt Brain Break Party! This high-energy video invites kids to run, jump, and dance as they search for bears, dinos, and sharks. The surprise showdown at the end will surely keep everyone engaged and active.
This video is ideal for:
- Preschool and elementary-aged kids
- Classroom brain breaks, indoor recess, or warm-ups
- Easy adaptation for both virtual and in-person learning environments
Skills Focus:
- Cardiovascular endurance
- Coordination
- Locomotor skills
- Spatial awareness
Instructional Suggestions:
To keep the energy levels high, consider setting a pace that allows students to follow along comfortably while still being challenged. Encourage students to make big movements and use the space around them to fully engage in the hunt. For students who may need modifications, offer simpler movement options or encourage them to participate at their own pace.
Extension Ideas (optional):
After the video, create a themed movement story where students take turns being the "hunter" and "dino/bear/shark." Ask students to come up with their own creative movements for each character. This activity can also be extended into a writing prompt where students write about their adventure as a hunter or a wild animal.
