Schoolyard exercise

[steuard]

I found this worksheet about exercise in a stack of my papers from first or second grade, and my eyes bugged out for a moment before I broke down laughing.

Now I must know, what *are* brigy wigys?

Yes, we need to know.

And I have trouble imagining you as the chacing girls kind.

It's a bit of an embarrassing memory at this point. (As you might expect.) I find myself surprisingly hesitant to tell the whole story even now. :)

My best guess is that "bridgy widgies" were the same thing as "bridge ups": lying on your back with your hands over your head and then pushing yourself up with your hands and feet to arch your back into the air. (My memory of these is much more arched than the pictures I've found online; maybe adults aren't as flexible as kids.)
