Scorpions: Begin by lying on your stomach with your hands straight out to the sides. Like the iron cross, raise one leg at a time and rotate your hips, reaching as far across your midline as possible. Now bend your knee so that it looks like a scorpion’s tail. Return to the starting position and switch sides. Iron cross: Begin by lying on your back with your arms straight out to the sides. Raise one leg at a time and swing it, under control, towards your hand on the opposite side of your body. Gradually extend your leg and try not to let your shoulders lift off of the ground throughout the movement. Return to the start position under control. Repeat on the opposite side.
• Warm up games can be included. This is optional, depending on how much time is available. Such games could include: Skunk tag: Place four hula-hoops at the four corners of the playing area – they are the safety zones. Learners can stay in a safety zone for 20 seconds, or until another learner steps into the hula-hoop following them. Only one player is allowed in a hula-hoop at a time. Place another hula-hoop in the middle of the playing area – this is the “skunks’ home”. Select two learners to be the “skunks”, and place them in the centre (home) to begin the game. When you blow your whistle, the “skunks” chase and try to tag the remaining learners. If successful, they change places. The new “skunk” must run to the centre hoop and yell "New Skunk!" before trying to tag another learner. Big bear tag: Choose two learners to be the “big bears” (taggers) and another two learners to be the “doctors” (unfreezers). When you blow your whistle, learners must perform a locomotor activity like skipping, hopping, high-knees or side- stepping. The “bears” will attempt to tag (catch) them. If a learner is tagged, he/she must freeze and stay in that spot until one of the two “doctors” comes over and “heals” them (unfreezing the learner and sending him/her back into motion) by touching them on the shoulder. “Doctors” cannot be tagged by the “big bears”. Swap roles of learners.
• The cool down must include breathing and stretching exercises, and must last at least 5–10 minutes.
