| Teaching Hints: |
Be sure to review the substances with the children and make sure they know what each substance is. The teacher should also ask for or give demonstrations about what type of movements each substance represents (peanut butter = slow, forceful movements; jello = jiggling, bouncing movements; etc.). |
||||
| Description: | |||||
|
Students are divided into four groups and assigned to a square. Each square will have a picture of either peanut butter, water, jello, or marshmallows. The students in the square are surrounded by that substance and must move around in the square accordingly. Emphasize creativity and have them make up their own movements. Remind them to try different levels. Use a whistle or signal to indicate when to start and stop the moving. Rotate the groups so each group has a chance to explore each substance. Students may also be asked to use different locomotor movements to travel from square to square. Remind students to move in a safe and controlled manner. |
