The arms are held out straight from the shoulders, like an airplane. Rotate the body right or left by twisting the hips. Lay on the floor with arms above the head and the feet pointed straight. Lay on your back to begin. Roll over onto your side and then onto your back.
Children have to realize that stretching requires some discomfort.
Stretch far enough that it hurts a little. Stretch slowly and smoothly. Do not jerk or bounce. Alternate stretching and bending to obtain maximum effort. Try to stretch or bend a little farther each time.
