Instructor Name(s):
Colleen Trumble
Mrs. Garner’s class and Mrs. Kubik’s class. (Both grade three classes)
Lesson Title:
Making a Story with Movement
Tech Requirements: (list all materials you might need. Include special
materials like balloons and also basic classroom materials like chalkboards).
None
The instructor (Colleen) will ask the class to walk around the room, in no
particular shape, just to walk anywhere they see a free space. Let their arms
swing loosely by their sides. Then the instructor will give a specific situation
and the students are to act out this situation until the instructor gives her
magic noise (whoooooop!) Then students return to walking around the room
with their arms swinging by their sides.
Situations:
1) Building a sandcastle on a nice warm beach
2) Trying to cross a creek by stepping on slippery rocks
3) Walking barefoot across a very hot desert. The sand is burning your feet
4) You just received a surprise package in the mail, what is it? What will
you do with the item in your surprise package?
• Now it is winter. All of your leaves have fallen. But you know you will
grow more next spring. Now it is time to rest. You rest.
Name of Exercise: Expected Length: (in minutes)
Atom (SPONGE ACTIVITY) N/A
Purpose: (why is this exercise included in the lesson)
If there is time left over, this exercise will be a fun way to end the class. Since
this class is taking the place of a gym class, it is a game that is more physical
and movement based, however it does have dramatic elements because it
relies upon focus and listening to others.
