I’m So
Excited!
When children
learn something new or do exceptional work start singing, “I’m so excited. And I just can’t hide it. You know, you know, you know, you know,
you know skill children have accomplished.”
Camera Cheer
Tell your
students that they are “front page news” and pretend to take their picture for
the newspaper. Make a clicking
noise for the flash as you do this.
Eye Hug
Smile, close
your eyes, and shrug your shoulders.
Love It Cheer
Make a heart
with your hands (index fingers touching at the top and thumbs at the bottom)
and extend from your heart.
Rock Star
Cheer
Put hands down
like a rapper and say, “Rock star!”
Smile Cheer
Cock your head
to the side, place your palms under your chin, and give a big smile.
Fire Cracker
Explosions
Place palms
together and make a hissing noise as you move them up in the air. Clap hands, and then wiggle fingers out
and down as you say, “Ahhhhhh!”
Do a baby fire
cracker with small movements and a soft voice.
Do a giant fire
cracker with exaggerated movements and a loud voice.
Do a slow fire
cracker.
How about a
happy fire cracker?
How many other
variations can the children come up with?
