Activity: Students will read the displayed word out loud

together and then perform the corresponding exercise
either a squat or a jumping jack. We will then transition
into sentences. The students will read the sentence out
loud together then either squat or do a jumping jack as
they come across the nouns and verbs in the sentence
that are bolded in red.

Possible Modifications: Use nouns and verbs in a

sentence and have students either squat or do a
jumping jack as they come across a noun or verb in the
sentence that they are reading out loud
