Explain how to plan a creative movement activity

What will be an ideal response?


1.Explore. Start with a guided exploration: How would it feel to be an animal? What animal would you be?
How would it walk if it were tired? hungry? happy? Allow children to make their own decisions about how the movement should be expressed. Do not say, "Move like an elephant," which makes it sound like there is only one way elephants move. Instead, say, "How do you think an elephant would move?"
2.Plan the signals to be used.
3.Practice. Provide plenty of free practice time during which children work individually creating their movement.
4.Take time to allow the children to share their movements with each other by having them pair up and perform them for each other. This is quicker and less frightening than having each child perform before the whole group.
5.Add rhythm. If it seems appropriate, consider adding a rhythmic accompaniment such as beating a drum or shaking a tambourine.
6.Repeat this or similar movement explorations on a regular basis.
