Run in Place Song

Begin chanting the song at avery slow tempo until

the children understand whatcomes next, and how to do

each movement correctly. Asthe children are able to

complete each exercise easily,speed up the tempo of the songand see if children can keep upwith the movements. This gamecan get very silly (and very fun)

quickly!

Plan aScavenger

HuntHave your child look around

the house or apartment for asmany objects they can find of

each color of the rainbow. Youcan even make it into a

competition to see which ofyour children can find a certaincolored object the fastest! Thiswill encourage your kids to run

around the house, keepingthem active, while also keeping

them busy indoors.
