Stretch Wave
Stretch wave: in a circle, a stretch passes from student to student like a stadium wave, then everyone holds it together.
How to play
- Students stand in a circle.
- The teacher starts a movement (arms up, side bend); each student copies it one after the other.
- When the wave comes back, everyone holds the stretch for 10 seconds.
- Repeat with different stretches.
Rules
- Gentle stretches, no pain.
- Watch your neighbor to keep the wave going.
