Human Bop-It!

Great game to get the children thinking about the rhythm and beat of the music. It's based on the 'bop it' game.

Call out the actions to which the children respond in the following ways:

• Kick it - children kick in front of them (ensure they're all in a space first!)
• Twist it - twist their bodies half way around then back, feet remaining in same place on the floor.
• Spin it - children turn around
• Pull it - imagine they are pulling two levers down from above their heads.
• Bop it - jump in the air.
