The following is a gift from us to the hard working teachers who need a fun way to keep their class motivated and having fun during the holiday season. Our version of The Night Before Christmas and The 12 Days of Christmas. I hope you enjoy it.
‘Tis a few weeks till Christmas - the year’s almost through.
Everyone is so busy - there’s so much to do.
Students are so excited it’s that time of year
They are filled with energy and end of year cheer
But for school teachers this is no time for fun
Children aren’t on task, no works getting done
The students are excited all over the school
Their restless, unsettled, their behaviour woeful
So let’s do something different, let’s make a change
Swap seat work for movement – a healthy exchange
Use the following adaption of an old Christmas song
Activities so easy everyone can sing along
Movement breaks designed as daily activity
Progressively growing from a single burpee
A fun way to break up the time students must sit
To stand up and get moving, have fun and get fit
A chance for teachers to move with their students
A way to focus on things other than food and presents
It does not really matter when you start
After maths, or English, or just before art
Find a space to yourself and take off your shoes
The song tells you exactly what you have to do
Just make sure you have warmed up before you begin
Your body for movement and your voices to sing
So that was 10 days of activities
To help at this time of festivities
I hope you enjoyed these 10 days of fun
And it helped you to get your class work done
For lots of other ways to put fun in your day
