FromActing Out, Rae Pica
What to have No additional materials are needed for this activity.
What to do Invite the children to do the following actions, which contribute to the fitness factor of flexibility: - Stretch as though picking fruit from a tall tree. - Flop like you’re a rag doll. - Stretch as though you’re waking up and yawning first thing in the morning. - Bend as though to tie your shoes. - Stretch as if to put something on a high shelf. - Bend as if to pat a dog, an even smaller dog, then a cat. - Stretch as if to shoot a basketball through a hoop. - Bend as if you’re picking up a coin from the floor. - Stretch as though reaching for a star.
Why To engage the body. To take a mind break.
