Have students move throughout the area using a variety of locomotor movements. On signal
(whistle), they quickly freeze. Try to reduce the response time by reinforcing students who stop
quickly on signal. The primary objective should be to teach students the importance of
moving under control (without bumping others or falling down) and quickly freezing, ready
to listen to upcoming instructions. When the students freeze quickly have them practice listening
for directions and waiting for the "Go" signal to follow the instructions.
Locomotor movements Gallop, walk, march, run, skip.
