Funny kids

[Rateh]

So today, I could tell right away with the first class that the kids were way hyped up for Halloween. As a result, I decided to run classes consisting mostly of exercises that build strength and endurance, in fun ways.

So for the 5-7 year olds low ranks class, we were doing animal crawls & walks down the floor. Simple ones of course...bear crawl, duck walk, duck feet, pigeon toed, frankensteins, etc. All of these have "fun" sounding names. Then we get to lunges. Apparently "lunge" does not sound like a fun enough name, because as we were finishing them, one of the little boys (he just moved from the 3-4 year old class last month) says we should name them "army crawls". I smiled and went with it, no point in reminding him that we already do "army crawls". Right then another 5 year old boy, just joined last month, says that they look like "marching" and showed an exaggerated marching movement with lunges. Now I have a new name for "lunges"..army marches!

Kids always want to name something. Sounds the kids we have. Kinda warms the heart when they do that.
