Description:
Students play Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes with 2-3 volunteers leading the class at different speeds, then listen to a read-aloud of Bodies Are Cool by Tyler Feder, draw 1-2 bodies from the book with an explanation of why they're cool, and finish with Strike a Pose — each student gets a 5-second runway walk or dance move in front of the class to a class-chosen song.
