Letting it run
- The students are asked to remove their jackets and backpacks, so they can move freely.
- The group forms a circle and spreads out evenly.
- The instructor starts the first round and slowly explains every dinosaur exercise.
- Short break.
- The instructor starts the second round and, in the process, asks the students if they remember what exercise fits which dinosaur.
- Now, the students are asked if they can come up with their own exercises and share them with the group.
