I want [A1 - name] and [A2 - name] to work together, and [A3 - name] and [A4 - name] to work together.

We’re going to watch a video which shows a group of children doing what I’ll be asking you to try. The children in the video will be doing the moves listed on this card.

Now let’s watch the demonstration on video. Watch very carefully because you will be trying to do the same movements in your pairs.

Click the Play button to show Part 1 of the video. Then show prompt card, and read out the moves. [Part 1 shows video of children as above with music soundtrack]

Now I want you to practise doing those movements in pairs for two minutes.You can use this card to remind you of the movements. It’s important to practise doing the same things together in your pairs, and not too quickly.

Give students 2 sticks each.Allow 2 minutes for practice, then get students’ undivided attention.

Now I want you to try doing your movements to music. But first we’ll listen to the music before you try doing it with music. Put your sticks down while you listen.

Click the Play button to show Part 2 of the video. [Part 2 shows written cues only, as on cue card, with voice over reading cues accompanied by music soundtrack]
