Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Yes, the Go Bananas part
Focus: External
Purpose: To be silly and play with all things you can do with a banana

Pre-teach: the “Go Bananas” move by telling them that in this song there’s going to be a part where we are going to go bananas!
This means kicking your legs, shaking your arms, jumping, running, anything you want!

First move: Peel + Chop + Mash + Stir + Shake + Eat/Drink. Ask for their own way of doing each activity, and demonstrate how many options there are. (watch the video tutorial.)

Second move: Go bananas! Tell them this is the part you mentioned, and ask them to show you how crazy and ridiculous they can be with their moves!
