Hokey Pokey Aerobics

How to Play

• Use a recording of the Hokey Pokey, or have the students sing it themselves.
• Sing while doing the corresponding movement:
  • Put your right foot in (lunge forward on the right leg)
  • Put your right foot out (return to standing position)
  • Put your right foot in and shake it all about (lunge forward on right leg and lightly bounce up in down in lunge position)
  • Do the Hokey Pokey and turn yourself around (do jumping jacks while turning in a circle)
  • Repeat above but do the opposite for the left leg.
  • Continue to sing while working the following body parts
  • Right arm and Left arm (in-extend arm at the elbow, out-flex arm at the elbow, shake-bicep curls)
  • Head (in-slowly touch chin to chest, out-back to starting position, shake- slowly side to side)
  • Right hip and left hip (in-side jump in, out-side jump out, shake- jump side to side)
  • Whole self (in- forward jump, out- backward jump, shake-jump in and out)
  • Backside (in- backward jump in, out-backward jump out, shake- jump in and out)
• Finish with “Do the Hokey Pokey and turn yourself around, that’s what it’s all about!”
• End with partner high-fives.
