20-24, 1997
IA Name: Copy Me (Non-Locomotor Version)
Grade Level:
K-1
Equipment: Slow
piece of music and tape/cd player; Song Suggestion: "What A Wonderful World" by Louis
Armstrong
Directions:
This is a teacher-led activity that allows students to practice
protocols such as starting and stopping and it is good for identifying body
parts with the younger children. It also allows students to get a sense of
what the word "SLOW" really means.
When students arrive have them stand on a circle or sit in front of
you. The main point is that they have to have room to extend their arms and
all have to be able to see the teacher.
After students are all facing you and are quiet tell them that they
are to copy your movements over the next few minutes (maybe the length of
one or two songs). Using slow motion do some of the following movements
with your hands and legs:
- One hand-make a circle very slowly (about a foot in diameter)
in front of your body
- Other hand-do the same thing
- One hand-make a circle counterclockwise, the other hand go
clockwise
- Make letters with your hands
- Make letters/numbers with your hands and arms. For instance
spell "LOVE" using your hands and elbow for the "L"; both hands for the
"O"; touch elbows to form the point of the "V"; make an "E" using the sign language symbol of the E.
- Put your hand facing the students so your palm is facing them;
rotate slowly so the back of your hand is facing them--they are to do the
same thing.
- Cross and uncross your arms (forming and X) in front of your body
- Balance on one leg and move the free leg in different ways
- Make up your own patterns remembering to go extremely slow
during the movement
