Instructions
Pupils are in threes or fours lined up one behind the other. The pupil at the front is the leader and decides on a Body Schooling action and then performs it. The others in the line must follow at a safe distance doing the same action.
On a predetermined cue, the pupil at the back moves to the front of the line and becomes the leader and chooses an action that the rest have to follow.
The line of pupils weaves in and out of other lines so everyone is working safely in the hall at the same time.
