State Standard: 1, 2, 3 | |
Equipment: Music | Grade: K-2 |
Purpose of Event: Personal and General Space, Locomotor skills, Creative Movement |
|
Time: 15-18 minutes | |
Description:
Students will be spread out in the gym in personal space. Explain to them that they will be moving around the gym, pretending to be “trick or treaters” (or scarecrows). Review that the general space, is space shared by everyone and that they must maintain their personal space and not bump into anyone. Tell the students that you will be naming a Halloween costume (or fall activity) and they need to move around the gym as though they are that character. For example, if the teacher says “bat”, the students will move around the gym flapping their arms. When the teacher says “BOO” all students must freeze and listen for the announcement of the next costume. Allow students to use their imagination to think of several Fall related movements. |

Concerns: Move safely in Personal/General Space |
