Holiday Lesson Ideas

1. Students choose one half of a heart and a balloon at random.
2. Students then spread out in general space and begin traveling on the teachers signal or music beginning in general space with their balloon in the pathway given on edge of their heart.
3. On the teachers signal students move and safely find someone else who shares the same pathway by matching connecting edges (thus, completing a heart).
4. When students have found a partner, they will find a poly spot (self space) and watch each other complete five "flat surface" volleys in a row without dropping the balloon and practice "assessing" each other on "flat surfaces" (that's the cue we've been focusing on with K-2). Students may remind their partner to use "flat surfaces"
5. Before music begins again, students will have the opportunity to trade heart halves with someone else in order to practice traveling in a different pathway.
6. When music begins again, students will begin traveling in general space with their balloon.

**Note: when students are traveling or volleying, they may clip the heart half to their clothing, Velcro or tape to their clothing, or put in pocket**
