Students will be standing behind their seats in a
place where they cannot touch anyone around
them. Each person must perform the verb I call
out in a manner that reflects the adverb on their
notecard. After each cue, students will switch
notecards with someone around them. Verbs

jumping jacks, punching the air, and doing 5
squats.
