Not only is Mrs. Gooneybird a wonderful classroom energizer it also is "sooo much fun!" (as proclaimed by these students).
Phyllis' also uses the instrumental track on her album by having students invent their own versions and movements. This way you can integrate this energizer into just about any thematic unit.
For Example:
"Mrs. Polar bear has seven cubs,
Seven cubs have Mrs. Polar bear,
They couldn't swim,
They couldn't run,
They could only go like this..."
Try it with your students today!
Also watch this video clip and see Phyllis demonstrate positive behavior management techniques every teacher can easily implement into their daily routines.
