Draw a repeat sign on the far left side.
While drawing the arrow, and going back and forth between the two repeat signs, chant the following rap. Invite the students to join in.
"Who can tell me what they think this sign with two bars and two dots is called?" (REPEAT) (Most will offer "repeat" - you will need to add "sign.")
At the end of current lesson, or beginning of next lesson, run a relay race using the repeat sign. (see RELAY RACE)
