Explanation
Morning exercises wake us up and help us feel fresh all day. First we air the room. The exercises take about 15 minutes and are done before breakfast. We stretch, walk on the spot, sway, bend and squat, and we finish with deep breaths.
Worked examples
Stretch: raise your arms and reach up, then spread them to the sides — 4–6 times.
Class activity
“Fisherman and fish”: children place their hands on their chest, turn right and left, and each time open their arms wide happily — 4–6 times. Then “stork walk”: walking on the spot with straight knees. Keep a distance from others.
