Hokey Cokey by Black Lace

Coaching Notes:

Pre-teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: To connect with other people around you and have fun.

The words of the song will tell you what to do. Transitions are quick, but they repeat so it’s easy to catch on. Most people will know some version of this song so if you have a different move, that is ok, just keep it simple. There are many ways to do this song. The key is the connection. It is recommended you have everyone create a circle before you start.

First move: Body part in and out / Hokey Cokey. . The song tells you. You’ll start with the left arm. Then do right arm. Left leg. Right leg. Whole body. Then on the Hokey Cokey, march in place and turn when it says “Turn yourself around”.

Dance it. Let’s see you put some style and personality in this. Feel free to sing along. Play with it and have some fun.

Second move: Walk forward 4 / Walk backward 4 (or just on the spot arms up and down) / Knees Bend / Arms Stretch / Rah Rah Rah. Come together! Go out! Come together. Go out. Come together. Go out. Knees bend, arms stretch, and “Rah Rah Rah!” Sing it. Let’s see your personality here. That’s it!
