Hi there! Are you ready to have some fun? Today, we’re going to learn about moving our bodies just like animals do. Let’s get started!
Have you ever seen a cat run? Cats are super fast and love to run around. Let’s pretend to be cats and run as fast as we can. Ready, set, go!
Kangaroos are amazing jumpers. They can jump really high and far. Let’s try jumping like a kangaroo. Bend your knees and jump, jump, jump! How high can you go?
Playing is so much fun! We can run, jump, and play games with our friends. What games do you like to play? Maybe tag or hide and seek? Let’s play and have a great time together!
Moving our bodies is important because it helps us stay healthy and strong. So, let’s keep running, jumping, and playing every day. Remember, the more we move, the more fun we have!
Thanks for joining in on the fun today. See you next time for more exciting adventures!
Animal Movement Exploration: Go outside or find a safe space indoors and pick an animal you like. Think about how that animal moves. Is it fast like a cheetah, slow like a turtle, or does it hop like a rabbit? Try moving like your chosen animal. Ask yourself: How does it feel to move like this? Can you make up a story about your animal’s adventure?
Movement and Music: Play a fun song and dance like different animals. When the music starts, pretend to be an animal and move around. When the music stops, freeze in place. Can you guess what animal your friends are pretending to be? Try to think of new animals each time the music starts again.
Animal Movement Art: Draw a picture of your favorite animal doing its special movement. Is it a bird flying, a fish swimming, or a monkey swinging? Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to make your picture colorful. Share your drawing with a friend and explain how your animal moves and why you like it.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
