Toe Knee Chestnut, Part 2 (Classroom Physical Activity Breaks)

Colleen Evans with students from Carver Elementary demonstrate this activity. Part 2 shows many set up activities for the song of Toe Knee Chest Nut including an art component as well. The introduction is the same as Part 1 (to skip the introduction on part 1, go to 2:37). Parts 1 and 2 should be done on different days, and in fact, the lesson can be done over several days.

Grade Level: K-2
Requires: Music for Toe Knee Chest Nut, media player, paper and marker

Addresses Wisconsin Physical Education Standard 1: "Demonstrates competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities."
