The aim in these rhythmic or two-handed exercises is to give skill, speed, and grace to the two hands working together.

• Spend 3-5 minutes a day on these exercises at a whiteboard.
• If you have no large whiteboard, tape two pieces of paper to a desk or table, one piece for each hand.
• Dots denote the starting places for a movement and the "X" the end position for a movement.

Instructors show children the top image and note:

• The geometrical form featured in at the top is called a circle.
• The shape on the second line is an ellipse.
• The additional shapes are the blade, loop, triangle, and kite.
