#back glide

Tell participants they are going to be chipmunks. Have them pretend to fill their mouths with nuts, puffing out their cheeks so it looks like their mouth is full. Get them to perform their glide on their back with their chipmunk cheeks.

Have participants stand against the wall. Ask them to choose a colour in their head, but not to say it aloud. The instructor calls out different colors. When the participant hears the colour they chose, they perform their glide. Note: can be used for any glide

Hold a noodle out slightly over the surface of the water and say it is a bridge. Get each child to do their back glide under the bridge and try to reach their tummies up high to touch the bridge.

When the instructor calls out MEATBALL and the child holds on to the wall facing it curled up in a ball (looking like a meatball) then when the instructor calls out SPAGHETTI the child will blast off the wall like a long noodle, performing their back glide.
