How to play
A musical workout timed to the song. Students move from plank to commandos to plank jacks on the chorus, then finish with star jumps that get faster and faster with the tune.
- Have everyone start the song in a plank; they hold for as long as they can, rest and rejoin.
- When the singing begins at 0:40, start commandos.
- At 1:20, do plank jacks in time to the chorus 'come on Eileen'.
- After the chorus, return to plank, then commandos when the singing starts, then plank jacks on the chorus.
- At 2:46, jump up and do star jumps in time with the song until the end.
- Scale the reps, holds and time to suit your class; anyone can rest and rejoin at any point.
