Call out each word and do the action a few times together, then call out a number before the action (for example, three leaps) and perform the movement called out. Make dances using two or three of the words in a row: run, turn, slide. Vary the directions and levels do the action word backwards or sideways, low to the ground, or stretched high in the air.
