Tell the children that you will turn on recorded music and they will dance and move from one shape to another. When the music is off they will stop on a shape. You will read the list and describe what movements each child will do on their specific shape. Invite children to take turns controlling the music and calling out the movements. Movement Shape Cards.
Children can create movement cards using the large shapes.
Ask the children to think of a specific movement for each shape, i.e. tap on triangles, hop on rectangles, etc. Write the movement in large letters on the top of each shape. Ask the children to line-up the shapes across the floor or playground. Place the children in a line and have them move across the shapes dancing out each movement indicated on each shape. Include recorded music to accompany the game.
