28s
At the very end of class Sensei has the kids quickly line-up and bow out. Then they give themselves a hand! If your style has a creed or meditation before or after the class, leave that out of your Little Eagles® classes. Close the class in 30 seconds or less.

18-Focus & Self-control, pop the bubbles
Using a bubble wand to blow bubbles thrills kids! Use bubbles as punching or kicking targets. Then without warning or a countdown, tell them to go back to their spots. TIP: It's hard for kids to stop when they are having fun. Using bubbles means the fun stops when the teacher stops!

5-Focus & Control, fun kicks
Sensei has this little guy demonstrate his "jump kick" on a pad that she rigged up herself. No matter the kick, doing it a different way than usual is always fun. TIP: Use your creative side and put together your own "equipment" for toddlers.

7-Focus & Self Control, attention and...
The group stands at attention and focuses on Sensei. Then they wiggle and go back to attention! With toddlers you have to switch up every few seconds, not minutes! TIP: If the tot who doesn't pay attention isn't affecting the rest of the class, ignore him!
