The pandemic has decreased the already low level of attention given to physical activity for students. I know, you as a teacher, have much higher priorities than giving your students silly dance breaks. However, studies show that just 2-10 minutes a day can drastically improve students' classroom behavior, fitness, and cognitive function. Physical activity has also been shown to improve the mental health effects of the pandemic on students. (Swierad et al., 2021) This song, and many more, provide that function and extra encouragement for you and your students. The lyrics are below the video.
Lyrics
This is my jam
I love this song
I move my feet to the beat when its on
This is my jam
I love this song
I move my feet, feet, feet, feet, to the beat
Hey Hey
This is the only song I dance to
Hey Hey
None of those other tracks can get me hype
Hey Hey
Promise me you’ll only play one tune
Hey Hey
Ill dance all night
This is my jam
I love this song
I move my feet to the beat when its on
This is my jam
I love this song
I move my feet, feet, feet, feet, to the beat
Hey Hey
Like a spirt possessin’ me
Hey Hey
I'll be grinnin’ like a laugh attack
Hey Hey
And I hope that you’ll agree
Hey Hey
other songs are wack
When the song comes on you know ima move my feet like this. Hey! Like this hey!
This is my jam
I love this song
I move my feet to the beat when its on
This is my jam
I love this song
I move my feet, feet, feet, feet, to the beat
