We started by practicing our marching in place, while I got my marching gear ready. I put on my marching hat and I had a baton to keep the beat. Then we sang "Follow the Prophet" while literally marching around the room, with me leading the way, holding a picture of the prophet we were singing about. We did a couple of rounds to review each verse.
After getting everyone settled again, I took my hat off and put it to the side. I told them we would then review some song by doing fun actions. I prepped my hat before coming in to have the action cards already in it, so they were amazed when I had someone come up and pull a card from my hat, not knowing they were there the whole time.
I've seen lots of action cards on pinterest, with the usual ones like jumping, turn in circles, wave your arms, but I wanted some different stuff, so I made up my own. They really enjoyed swimming in place and conducting music. They were a little hesitant about the chicken and robot dances but finally got into it, especially after I demonstrated.
