I will use an adverb in a sentence and if I use the adverb correctly then you will do the action. If I do not correctly use the adverb correctly then you will stay frozen. We are not going to get out if you accidentally move just so you can practice these adverbs.

Check for understanding: What is an adverb? What are you going to do if the adverb is used correctly? Not correctly? Safety: -Spread out to make sure that you dont run into others as you are doing the action. - If it is a running action, jog and dont run into each other
