Description: The students will practice their CONCENTRATION by demonstrating combinations from their form while adding in comic book sounds with every move.
Teaching SKILLZ:
NEUROBICS – The instructor can give them some sample sounds to use, like “kaboom”, but let them know that they can make up their own sounds. This will engage their left and right hemispheres of the brain and allow the students to be more engaged in the activity.
Brain SKILLZ:
DIVIDED ATTENTION – While the student is working on their form, they must think of creative action sounds to say when they use their moves. This works on the ability to focus on more than one thing at one time.
