Happy by Imagination Movers

Coaching Notes:

Pre-teach: Yes – Happy Face
Focus: External
Purpose: To create fun interactions

In the song, you’ll hear the word “Happy” and when you do, you’ll turn to someone and say “Happy” with your Happy Face. Let’s try it a little bit.

First Move: Walk and Happy Face. Start walking. Now every time you hear “Happy”, let’s see those faces. Now go to a different friend and show them your happy face. Keep going. Make a new happy face every time. Try getting lower. Or bigger. Keep playing with it and show me as many ways that you can be happy as possible. You can’t get this wrong.

Second Move: Skip. You can hear the music changing. Take it to a skip. Skip through the room. Around friends. To open spaces. Try arms out. Just skip like you’re the happiest person alive. Remember to always do it in a way that feels good for your body. If you don’t want to skip, try an energy walk instead.

Third Move: Whistle. Keep walking as you whistle. Whistle with a friend. You’ve got it.
