Basic TPR commands

What I expected from TPR and what I really like about it:
Basic TPR commands such as : Stand up, sit down, turn, jump, hop, march, eat, walk, wash, etc. More advanced commands such as: Stretch, yawn, brush (hair, teeth)

Write a series of actions which students can act out. An example might be "Getting Up."
  • I'm waking up.
  • I'm rubbing my eyes.
  • I'm yawning.
  • I'm stretching.
  • I'm getting out of bed.
  • I'm washing my face.
  • I'm brushing my teeth.
  • I'm combing my hair.
  • I'm getting dressed.
  • I'm walking to the kitchen.
  • I'm eating breakfast.
  • I'm putting on my backpack.
  • I'm kissing my mother "good-by."
  • I'm opening the door.
  • I'm walking to school.
Have students demonstrate their mastery of the commands by stopping the tape after each command and asking each student to act out a command or two.
