We'll begin with a stretch. Arms high into the air, onto our tiptoes, hold onto a monkey bar, and we are going to not let go of that monkey bar, but we are going to lower our heels to the ground, so we're going to get taller. Lowering to the count of four. Here we go. One, two, three, four. Gosh, you're all super tall. Drop your fingers, and your wrists, and your elbows, and your shoulders. Relax your knees and go. (teacher trills) (students trill) Very (chuckles) good. Let's do that one more time. Stretch up onto your tiptoes, hold onto the monkey bar, lowering our heels to a count of four. Going one, two, three, four. Gosh, you're so tall now. Drop your fingers, and your wrists, and your elbows, and your shoulders. Relax your knees, and (trills). (students trill) (chuckles) Very good. Now, let's take up as much space as we can. Make a really, really big space. Huge shapes, and we are going to shrink down into a dingy, tiny shape. Tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, like a little seed, and we're now going to grow back to a big shape. Are you ready? One, two, three, go! Grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow! And relax. Feet slightly apart. Arms by our side. <v ->Now, let's warm up our face. </v> We're gonna start by tapping all over our face from our neck, all the way to the top of our head, to wake ourselves up. Ready? We're starting on our neck. And just lightly, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Moving up. Tap, tap, tap. Onto your chin. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Past your cheeks. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Tap. Past your eyes to your forehead. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. To the very top of your head. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Bing. Lovely. Very good. Now, we're gonna pretend to brush our teeth, but with our tongue, so our tongue is gonna move all the way across our top and bottom teeth, all the way into the corners of your mouth like this. Mm. There we go. Right through the back. Coming down to the other side. All the way to the back. Back 'round. And there we go. Hopefully that tongue's feeling nice and exercised. Now, we're gonna make our faces really small. We're gonna close our eyes, close our mouth, scrunch up our nose, small, small, small, small, small, and then I'm gonna say, "Three, two, one," and then on "Three, two, one, go," you're gonna make your face as big as you can. So, big wide open eyes, open mouth, tongue out. Bah! Ready. Here we go. So, small, small, small, small, small. Three, two, one. Bah! Lovely. Let's try that one more time. Ready. Small, small, small, small, small, small. And three, two, one. Bah! Very good. <v ->Breathing. </v> We'll breathe in for four, hold for one, and out for five. Watch first. (teacher inhales slowly) (teacher exhales slowly) You'll notice we breathe in through our nose and out through our mouth. Let's now join in altogether. (teacher inhales slowly) (teacher exhales slowly) Well done. We're going to do that two more times. Here we go. Make sure we're feeling nice and relaxed, and (inhales slowly). (teacher exhales slowly) (teacher inhales slowly) (teacher exhales slowly) That's great. We should be feeling quite relaxed and the air should be flowing quite calmly. This time, we're going to breathe in for four, hold for one, and we're going to breathe out for six, imagining we're blowing out through a straw. Watch first. (teacher inhales slowly) (teacher blows slowly) Okay. Let's all do that together. Feeling relaxed. Shoulders relaxed. Off we go. (teacher inhales slowly) (teacher blows slowly) Let's do that two more times. (teacher inhales slowly) (teacher blows slowly) And one more. (teacher inhales slowly) (teacher blows slowly) Well done. <v ->This warmup is called bubblegum. </v> How many times do you hear the word bubblegum in the song? ♪ Bubblegum, bubblegum, chew and blow ♪ ♪ Bubblegum, bubblegum, scrape your toe ♪ ♪ Bubblegum, bubblegum, tastes so sweet ♪ ♪ Get that bubblegum off my feet ♪ If you counted seven times, you're right.
