ABSTRACT
The activities in this chapter are written for middle school classrooms, with modifications suggested throughout for students with exceptionalities. These activities are designed to be included in your classroom POP Chart in the “SOCIAL: Warm Up and Energize” quadrant. As they are practiced in a group setting, these SOCIAL: Warm Up and Energize activities are designed to engage students interpersonally and positively harness their energy through movement and teamwork. After each activity has been taught, it should be added to the POP Chart, so you can utilize it any time throughout the day when your class needs to focus and get In the Zone.
