Instructions
1. This is a great exercise to do when children have been sitting for a while, or
have just come in from outdoor play.
2. Announce, "It's time to get the wiggles out." Sit in a group, and then one at a
time, call on each child to stand and imitate the "wiggle" word. Wiggle words
include:
* jiggle * wag
* squirm * quiver
* twitch * wriggle
* shake * waggle
* jerk * quiver
* writhe * wobble
* rattle
3. At a more active time, replace these wiggle words with bouncing words.
