Fun Energiser 13:
Mini/MAXI Stretches
Number of people: Any.
Materials: None required.
Time: 4-5 minutes.
Overview: An injection of physical movement to either energise a lethargic group or settle and focus a lively one. This has the benefit of being related to the lesson content.
Directions:
1. Ask the whole class to stand up.
2. Demonstrate a ‘mini’ stretch (move a small part of your body: curl a lip, twitch a finger etc) compared with a ‘MAXI’ stretch (reach for the ceiling, lift a leg etc). Whilst demonstrating the stretch, simultaneously state out loud one fact that is topic-related.
3. Everyone then copies the stretch whilst repeating the same fact and the teacher then nominates another student to model a ‘mini’ or ‘MAXI’ stretch whilst stating another topic-related fact. This student must then call on another to do the same.
4. Perform four or five stretches before continuing with the lesson (or pulling a muscle, whichever is the sooner).
