A cd player or computer to play the music on 3. An open space, like a gym or outside playground Procedure: Opening Set/Anticipatory Set- Start the lesson by playing the Hokey Pokey song, and ask students to do the dance. If they do not know how, this would be the best time to explain it to them. Also, review the names of the bones you have been studying in class. Instructional Sequence- Students will perform the Fun Bone dance to the tune of the Hokey Pokey. It goes like this, You put your skull in, you put your skull out. You out your skull in and you shake it all about. You do the fun bone dance and you turn yourself around thats what its all about! Replace the underlined word with different bones, until you have covered them all. Independent Practice- Have students name and label the bones on a diagram of a human body for homework.

Closure- Have students answer questions about bones to finish off the lesson. Adaptations: Most kids with special needs can do this lesson. To make the lesson easier, you could use easier bone names, such as head, instead of skull, or hip instead of pelvis. Assessment of Students: Students will be assessed by having a quiz over the names of the bones, and labeling where they are on the human body.
