Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun and move your body? Let’s pretend and play together!
Can you hop up and down like a kangaroo? Kangaroos love to jump high! Try it and see how high you can go!
Imagine you’re a big monster truck. Roll around and make big circles with your arms. Vroom, vroom!
Let’s pretend to be bananas. Slowly peel your arms down from your head. It’s like taking off a cozy blanket!
Flap your arms like a chicken. Can you make a clucking sound too? Flap, flap, flap!
Monkeys love to swing in trees. Sway your body side to side and pretend you’re swinging from a branch. Whee!
Stomp your feet like a big dinosaur. Boom, boom! Make the ground shake with your stomps!
Grab your pretend guitar and rock out like a rockstar. Play your favorite song and dance around!
Get ready to blast off like a rocket ship. Count down from three and jump high into the sky. 3, 2, 1, blast off!
Wag your tail like a happy puppy. Shake your hips and pretend you have a wagging tail. Woof, woof!
Show off your muscles like a bodybuilder. Pretend to lift heavy weights and feel strong!
Push your arms forward like a bulldozer moving dirt. You are strong and powerful!
Balance on your pretend surfboard and ride the waves. Feel the wind in your hair as you surf!
Spread your arms wide and shine bright like the sun. You light up the world with your smile!
Remember, you can move your body like anything you imagine. Have fun and keep moving!
Animal Movement Parade: Gather your friends or family and create a parade where everyone picks an animal from the lesson to imitate. Take turns leading the parade and showing off your best animal moves. Can you guess which animal each person is pretending to be?
Movement Story Time: Create a story using the different movements you learned. For example, “Once upon a time, a kangaroo hopped through the forest and met a dinosaur who stomped loudly.” Act out each part of the story with the matching movements. What other characters can you add to your story?
Nature Walk Observation: Go on a walk outside and observe how different animals or objects move. Do you see a bird flapping its wings or a dog wagging its tail? Try to mimic their movements. How does it feel to move like them?
