Exercise of the Month

7–9 år

Once a month, the children get to vote on which exercise will be the “Exercise of the Month” and will be used extra often.

How it works:

  • Present 3–4 exercises that the children are familiar with.
  • Let the children vote for the exercise they want to do more of by raising their hands, or have them write their preference on a slip of paper (you can assign each exercise a number to make writing easier).
  • The exercise that receives the most votes becomes the “Exercise of the Month”.
  • Do that exercise, for example, once a week during that month. Feel free to involve one of the children to lead the exercise and demonstrate.

A tip is to use it as a lifeline and more spontaneously when the training group’s energy starts to run low.

Why democratic leadership:

• Stay longer in sports
• Thrive and feel better
• Develop their performance
• Dare to speak up if something is wrong!
• Start where you are and build step by step.
• Every small change makes a difference!
