SUGGESTIONS FOR THE TEACHING OF THE GYMNASTIC ACTIVITY
1. Teach the words of the rhyme to the class, keeping in mind the
rhythm.
2. If in presenting the action, the movement is based upon certain words
as cues, present by imitation the activity as applied to the words,
_i.e._, Little Jack Horner; Little Miss Muffet, etc.
3. If the movement is based on a time element (rhythm), present the
activity content, line by line, _i.e._, Yankee Doodle; Pat-a-cake, etc.
4. Be sure the rhyme and activity has been thoroughly mastered before
adding the song element.
5. If a dancing movement is involved, present same to the class as a
unit before combining with other movements, _i.e._, Fly Away Jack and
Jill; Diddle, Diddle, Dumpling, etc.
