Today we froze!
Well, only when the music stopped.
Greg & Steve's song titled "The Freeze" has been formally introduced in our classroom and they love it! I've used the freeze game in my time as a gymnastics coach when we would have the entire open floor for us to roll, jump, and run around but using this song in the classroom was almost just as fun. (Especially the part after, when all my kiddos had gotten rid of those pesky wiggles).
Instead of just running around all crazy-like, our class made a circle around our group of tables and marched, monkey-walked, fish-swam, giraffe-tip-toed, and a bunch of other things around said tables. It worked out because there was no line leader (or caboose which has become another desired position for some reason) and we changed movements pretty quickly so it was always engaging.
The song tells you when to freeze and isn't terrible to listen to multiple times (speaking as an adult), so I'd recommend it to anyone! You can listen to it here (it's number 10 on the list).
Be safe and sweet, y'all.
