It's the middle of winter, so if today isn't the best day to share my favourite cool downs, I don't know what is! I think warm ups are far more popular, but the exercises at the end of the lesson are equally important as they help students remember the things they've learned that day and close the lesson in a friendly, relaxed and enjoyable manner. Below you will find my favourite cool down ideas - maybe you'll find them as useful as they were for my own students. The good thing about the ideas below is that you only need pen and paper - and that's it, enjoy!
