Here are some choreography suggestions for "Reach Out" from Music K-8, Vol. 13, No. 2:

The motions are all sustained and calm.
Measure 5: Cross your right hand in front of body to the left.
Measure 6: Cross your left hand in front of body to the right.
Measures 7-8: Bring both arms straight out in front of the body slowly.
Measure 9: Cross your left hand in front of body to the right.
Measure 10: Cross your right hand in front of body to left.
Measures 11-12: Move your right hand on top of your left hand. Arch both hands forward past your face. (You end up with both arms straight in front.)
Measure 13: Face your body to left of center slightly.
Measure 15: Face your body to right of center slightly.
Measure 17: Face your body to the front.
Measure 19: Reach straight out with your right hand and hold there.
Measure 21: Reach straight out with your left hand and hold there.
This all repeats on verse 2.
My third graders who are doing the song really like this movement, and it looks really cool.
