Warm Up and Cool Down Generator

Half the class flips cones upright, the other half flips them down. After 60s, count the cones.

Pupils throw a ball up, clap a set number of times, then catch. Increase claps each round.

Teacher holds up a coloured cone and drops it — pupils sprint forward only when it touches the floor.

Pupils jog around the space. Shout a number — they form groups of exactly that size. Odd ones out do 5 star jumps.

In pairs, one leads slow movements (arm circles, lunges, hops) and the partner mirrors them. Swap after 30s.

Balance on one leg for 20s, swap. Round 2: eyes closed. Round 3: arms out like wings.

In pairs, pupils copy their partner's slow stretches. Encourage long, controlled holds.

Hands on belly. Breathe in for 4 counts (belly expands like a balloon), out for 6. Repeat 8 times.

Move slowly through 4 poses: mountain → forward fold → downward dog → child's pose. Repeat twice.

Shake out arms, then legs, then whole body like cooked spaghetti. Finish with 3 slow shoulder rolls each way.
