February Starfish Weeks 3 & 4

Warm Up Song: Tap Your Sticks
​Cool Down/Ending Activity: Freeze Dance with shaky eggs

Focus on arms going up to sky when jumping! 

**Always remember to be on outside of the circuit circle so you can keep your eyes on ALL kids in the class. Never turn your back to your class. 

With different shapes of the preschool areas, the order is ok to be changed.
