Your Body Worksheet.
In these interactive activities students get
lots of repetitions, movements and voice play. Three domain skills
are used; Cognitive learning through active participation and
exploration, Language and literacy, listening and speaking, Motor,
muscle movement and coordination. The CD has
original steady beats with a Caribbean flavor. But the activities
work well without the music, and will open the door to exploring
open-ended questions. Lyric and Activities can be interchanged.

bit different than what we where doing before. So, let's think about
it. What can we do that's different and exciting, that we could use
to get across the bridge? In music to get across the bridge, you must
do something different. Remember that. Are you ready? What will you

What about letters and numbers? Do they have shapes? What shapes can
you make with your bodies? If I hold up three fingers is that a

trees and plants, or something from your lesson for the day.

exercise for learning to listen, following directions and building
motor skills while having fun, creating movements.
