Exercise Routine

Doing exercise in class allows learners to listen to commands in a relaxing way. As it is a routine in the classroom, learners are exposed to the words used in the commands many times and can therefore learn the words easily. Commands can include prepositions of direction (e.g., up), body parts (e.g., arms up, head to the right), and simple actions (e.g, turn to the left). Teachers can also invite friends to audio record the routine so that learners can practice listening to different voices and accents.
