#front glide

Have participants sit on the wall and place a foam block in front of them. Get the participants to kick their feet to pushing their block far away. Once it is far enough away, have them jump in the water and glide to their block to retrieve it.

Tell children they are going to the grocery store together to buy their favourite foods. Have child hold a flutter board as their grocery cart and kick to the wall. At the wall they will say out loud the foods they are putting in their cart. Then they have to glide back home with their cart where they can eat it.

The instructor pretends to pull a chord and makes a mock impression of an engine sound to queue the participants to perform their front glide. 

When the instructor calls out ‘lava’, the participants front glide. When the instructor calls out ‘water’, the participants stop gliding.

Kick with arms outstretched, fingers locked – promotes streamlining and balance.

Have participants put on their space uniform (i.e. space boots, jacket, and helmet). Hold out a hula-hoop and tell them that is the moon. Have them rocket (front glide) through the moon, take pictures, and rocket back to starting point.

Get participants to put their arms together like a rocket ship. Have them blow their bubbles to start their engines. When the instructor counts down from three, have them blast off the wall, performing their glide.

Hold a hula-hoop and tell participants that it will transform them into any princess or superhero they would like to be. Ask the participant to shout out who they want to transform in to before they glide through the hula-hoop. When they glide back, they are that character.
