What to have No additional materials are needed for this activity.
What to do Establish an audible signal with the children (for example, two hand claps, a tap on the drum). Then instruct them to move with tiny steps until they hear the signal, at which time they begin taking giant steps. Continue to alternate, varying the amount of time they have to perform each.
Why Child is able to differentiate between tiny steps and giant steps. Child gains understanding of the concepts of giants (very big people) and elves (very tiny people.)
