Ready, set ain't gonna! Let nobody turn me round this time. Can you put a little sauce on it? So it's a little sassy. You know I'm saying you're gonna. Let nobody turn me around. Turn me around turn me round again. Turn me back and go.

Let's give that a go, I know some of us do have a melody already ain't gonna. Let nobody turn me round. Turn me round turn me round. Ain't gonna.

B

Ain't gonna, let you.

B

D

Talked about this before, what do you think this song could be about ain't gonna? Let nobody turn me around.

D

What is that about? Take a moment.

B

Next time in your head, will you do me a favor and turn.

D

To one or two people closest to you introduce yourselves and say: what do you think this song.

A

Could be about what.

C

D

Okay, we had a little bit of a conversation with the folks that I was talking about. I know you're so like in the middle of your conversation. Don't worry. We're gonna, have more opportunities opportunities for us to chat.

B

Who would like to share aloud? What do you think that this song.

D

Ain't gonna, let nobody turn me around for.

B

Lots of conversation, yeah son, will you say your name out loud, so people come.

E

D

Doing what people think is right and not letting people stop you. So can you sing at this time with that in mind that you're not going to? Let anyone stop you from doing what you think is right here we go one two.

B

B

D

The work thank god nobody's coming around instead of turning around. What can we put there? Any ideas.

D

I love this and you gotta put that stride like that extra sauce.

B

In your stride, while you do it here, we go ain't gonna. Let nobody stop. My stride. Stop my stride. Ain't gonna.

D

Ain't gonna. Let nobody stop me now. So we're gonna move. So you don't have to stay on your spot. You can move around, but then.

B

We're gonna freeze on the word, stop just for funsies. Here we go ain't gonna. Let nobody stop me now. Stop me now. Stop me.

B

D

We could change even those words but think about something like that. You know is right, so you're not gonna. Let.

A

Other people stop you from doing that.

D

C

D

Think break me down. I love it. So ain't gonna, let nobody break me down. What's a.

C

D

That we could do with.

B

B

Marching up to freedom, one more.

B

Time turn me round.

B

Here we go marching up.

A

D

We're going to move on to a game: are we going to do the.

A

Game or two so folks, those of you who are kind of.

D

On this step, if you come toward me and turn around so we're kind of making it a huge circle and folks over here feel free to come, join us as we do this game, don't be shy, come on in.

B

Okay, okay, so let's track a little bit.

D

More a little bit more.

D

The adult folks, the children everybody come on in come.

C

B

All right folks, so there are four main movements in this game.

D

But crystal is going to show for us, so we know what to do.

D

Sure jump in jump in wait. Did you notice crystal did two things who can raise their hand and share what were the two things you notice that crystal because it's kind of important julia? What do you say.

B

Repeated the words and.

D

Okay, so we're going to start that again, jump in sounds good jump out jump around okay. First, I can just remember which side is right, which side is left if you're, not sure you can look at the person next you'd be like.

D

Everybody got it, everybody got it, everybody wave your right hand and wave your left hand point to the right point to the left, be like hey right side.

B

D

So we're going to jump to the right jump to the left, jump in jump in gently jump right down, right, jump back.

D

Okay, so we've been having a fairly good success rate. Does everyone want to review the right and left again.

C

D

If you are pointing in this direction, this is to your right folks.

D

That's correct, jump out jump in.

D

So this time I think we could probably add something new.

D

Does anyone have an idea? We have emotions, notice those kind of opposites right, there's jumping in there.

D

Thank you so we're going to lean down and lean up and you might want to close your eyes because it's so pretty the lovely sun, so we're leaning, down and leaning up. Okay. Here we go down.

D

Oh, I didn't hear anybody, I'm sorry we're going to try that again bring it down down clean down lean down jump in lean back. I'm sorry.

D

Should we add another movement.

D

D

B

They're doing so well, do you want to teach the like advanced version of this game because I think they might be able.

A

I see the adults say, no, they can't say yes.

A

Okay, so what's going to happen, is I'm going to say a direction and I'm going to do the direction you are going to say the opposite of my direction, but you're gonna do the same direction. Miss hamlin and I will will demonstrate one. So if you just want to watch ready jump in notice how miss hadley jumped in, but she said, jump out, oh it's going to really work. Your brain ready, jump right.

C
