CURRICULUM


ACTIVITY IDEAS


DRAW, WRITE, OR TELL


How do you like to move? Who or what do you like to move with? Create a picture of you and your friends moving together. See activity sheet #1


GROUP ACTIVITY


While outside or in a large indoor space, encourage students to move quickly. Next, encourage them to move slowly. What did they notice and feel when mov- ing quickly? What did they notice and feel while moving slow? Follow this activ- ity up by asking students “how do you like to move your body?” One at a time, invite students to take turns leading the group to move together with the leaders’ chosen movement.


GROUP ACTIVITY


While outside or in a large indoor space, organize a game of charades. Without us- ing words, the leader acts out an emotion (e.g., scared, bored, happy, angry sad, proud, disappointed, worried, confused, calm, confident, etc.) and the group guesses. Note that this is also an opportu- nity for students to learn about how their friends show emotion. For one student, ‘happy’ might look like a smiling face, for another student this emotion might look like stimming (e.g., hand flapping, rocking, etc.). See activity sheet #2


CREATE A STORY


Te kids in the book had to wait to see each other. Tis kind of waiting can be exciting, like waiting for a birthday or seeing someone you miss! When have you had to wait? What happened next? Write or draw out your story. See activity sheet #3
