It s great for quiet time and those days when the kids just can t stay out of each other s space. Teachers use BodySox to demonstrate concepts of shape, space and visual motor coordination. Remove hard sole shoes or you may wear sneakers. Hold BodySox vertically, with opening facing forward. Step into it, placing each foot in a corner.
Children imagine they are each an important piece of a large puzzle.
Instruct the child to find a way to mold to the previous child s shape until the puzzle is completed. Themes of emergence, being born, coming out into the world, hatching eggs, changing, etc. can be developed as the children explore different ways they can begin to peel off the BodySox one arm out, one leg, upper body, lower body, head, etc. If they make contact with another rock they must roll in the opposite direction. Divide group, half watches while the other half improvises in their BodySox to music. Instruct children to freeze in a BodySox sculpture when they hear the music stop.
