What to have “Exploring Space” (Length 3:32)—CD Track 27
What to do This song is all about the movement element of space. If necessary, define what is meant by curving and zigzagging paths. Do the song non-musically at first, asking the children to follow along with the lyrics, which are as follows: Chorus: It’s easy to explore the space around you. C’mon, I will show you how. First find a place to call your own, Stand at your middle level now. The verses then instruct the children to perform the following: Reach high and bend low. Take four steps forward and four backward. Hop to the right and then to the left. Make a curving and then a zigzagging path. Finale: It’s easy to explore the space around you. You see, you have shown me how. So find that place you call your own, Relax at your middle level now. Relax at your middle level now.
Why Child demonstrates an understanding of the lyrics and is able to successfully execute them.
