| Lesson Objective (Psychomotor and/or Cognitive): |
Students will develop an awareness of all body parts and explore the different shapes those parts can create. |
||||
| Teaching Hints: |
Give students locomotor movements to do in between shapes. It is a good idea to stop the music while announcing the next shape. Students may be encouraged to work in pairs or groups, but it is not required. Posters with pictures of the shapes can be used to give students visual cues as to what the shapes/objects should look like. |

| Description: | |||||
|
Have students spread out and find a space, but they must move there in an unusual wau. Ask them to "show me a way I've never seen before." Once they are in that personal space, have them do that same movement, but remain stationary as they do it. Now they should assume a body shape using their hands for balance and hold that position. The teacher should have a signal for when to find a different position. Students are to walk around the general space until the teacher calls out a shape or object to imitate. Some suggested shapes/objects are circles, triangles, squares, trees, flowers, giraffes, monkeys, blanket, giant, bridge. Students now move around in the general space until you give them a new shape. |
