Crossover Dance Party: Create a fun dance routine using crossover moves! Play some music and encourage the children to come up with their own crossover dance steps. They can mix and match the moves from the lesson, like touching their knees, shoulders, and elbows. Ask them to show their dance to a friend or family member and explain why crossovers are important for their brain and body.
Crossovers in Nature: Take the children on a short nature walk and encourage them to observe animals or plants that might use crossover movements. For example, they can watch how a cat stretches or how a tree branch crosses over another. Ask them to mimic these movements with their own crossover actions and discuss how crossovers help animals and plants in nature.
Crossover Art: Provide the children with paper and crayons or markers. Ask them to draw a picture of themselves doing a crossover move. Encourage them to be creative and add details like a background or friends joining in. Once they finish, have them share their artwork with the class and describe the crossover move they drew and why they enjoy doing it.
