Like a lot of admirable physical educators I know, or have observed over the years, I take a lot of pride in the verbal cues I utilize in my classroom. As many know, verbal cues have the power to help students better grasp the many fine and gross motor skills presented to them on a yearly basis. From the underhand throw to the stationary kick, my students have found more success with the skills I teach them because of a practice I call “catchy cues”. Catchy cues are verbal statements I attach to the skills I teach that have purpose, but most importantly, physical and auditory rhythm.
