Materials and Prep

  • Open space for movement

Before the lesson, ensure the space is clear of obstacles to prevent any injuries. It’s also important to remind the student to stay hydrated during the activities.

Activities

  • Warm-Up Stretch

    Start with a fun warm-up stretch! Play some upbeat music and encourage the student to stretch their arms, legs, and back. This helps prepare the body for movement and prevents injuries.

  • Basic Quadrobic Movements

    Introduce simple quadrobic movements like the "Quadro Step," where the student steps side to side while swinging their arms. Add some fun by encouraging them to make up their own movements!

  • Mini Quadrobic Routine

    Guide the student in creating a short quadrobic routine using the movements learned. They can choose their favorite moves and put them together for a fun performance!

  • Cool Down and Reflection

    After the activities, lead a cool-down session with gentle stretches. Then, have the student write down their thoughts in their notebook about what they enjoyed and what they learned.
