Left, Left!
A chant for remembering left and right, and for practising walking in time. This chant was taught to me by a childhood friend, Ann and we used to chant it while walking to school! The children could first practise copying you as you walk in time saying the words and it's a good rhythmic chant to do outdoors as a playground game or PE warm-up. As you will see from the video, it's a bit of a challenge for some children (and teachers!). Try it in the playground, first on the spot with your back to the children, and then walking in a line, keeping the children spaced out so that the can see your feet.
