To make practice more diversion for children, transform it into an amusement. Here are a few thoughts from BOKS teacher Ewunike Akpan.

Corners: Divide kids up with the goal that they each have a home corner. At that point have them circled the room around, On your prompt, they come back to their home corner and complete a couple of simple activities (say, 5 hopping jacks or one 30-second board). Akpan recommends giving children a chance to choose what activities to do in each corner to give them responsibility for amusement.

Return and Hit It: On "go," kids keep running forward in assigned lines (see photograph). At that point get out "Back" so they need to keep running backward. At long last, prompt "Hit it!" to join another expertise, for example, a tuck bounce or squat. Once more, give kids contribution on picking the "hit it" aptitude.

Activity: In this BOKS variety of "Red Light, Green Light," there's all the more going ahead out and about.
