GET THOSE HEADS DOWN!!!

In Minnesota at Atwater Cosmos Grove City (ACGC) South Elementary they created this clever and fun intervention out of PVC pipe to help remind students to keep their heads down and chins close to the floor as they did the "Alligator Crawl". Other sites take hula hoops apart and stretch them across the mats. Then they hang streamers or scarves from the hula hoops as an extra incentive to keep the head low. A few schools have stretched string across the mats and attached it to the tops of cones. The students think it is so much fun and they love the challenge too.
