    • Before the Activity: “Hello, friend! Come spread out around me. I have something fun for us to do today!”
    • During the Activity: “I’m going to show you a movement for us to do. Ready? (Do a star jump.) Doesn’t that look like fun? What shape did I make with my body? Here, watch me one more time. (Demonstrate.) My body made a star! Let’s all be stars! Jump with me. (Pause.) Great job! Look at you being a shining star!” (Repeat as desired.)
