Activity 1
1. Talk about dragon breaths. How dragon’s “tummies” expand when they
breathe.
2. Have students lay on the ground and put a pencil or paper they have on top
of where their belly buttons are. Have them practice dragon breathing,
making sure they see whatever they put on their tummy move.

Activity 2
1. Students will get up off the floor and stand up straight, placing one hand
over their belly button.
2. Students will follow teacher instruction to exhale their breath on certain
counts and sounds ex. Hiss like a snake, say “toh” and stomp like a giant,
‘my my my my my’ on descending pitch like how “mom or dad or grandma”
says it in the higher voice, possibly match pitch on a syllable depending on
progress.
 Accommodations

participate and I can individually adjust the activity to their needs.

Assessment

1. Formative assessment by having them self-evaluate along with my

continued observations and prompting questions throughout the lesson.
2. Summative assessment via a final round of prompting and questioning at the
end of the lesson.
