Coaching Notes:

Pre-teach: No
Focus: External
Purpose: To explore the room with a walk, interact

First Move: Walk. Start with a crazy walk. Make it as fun and silly as you can. Add those arms. Add a little oldies style if you want. Whatever you do, have fun with it! Feel free to sing along. Walking around each other and between each other. Use your directions. You can even act out the song if you want. Try backwards, sideways, a turn now and then. Let’s see what all you can do. Whole body is dancing that walk. It doesn’t matter what you look like. Where haven’t you been in the room? Keep some style and personality in it.

Second Move: Yakety Yak Combo (hands making talk move, then “no” shake finger). Find someone. That’s it. Someone new. Who’s around you?
