ACTIVITY 01
Instructions 5 min
- Put some music on and ask students to walk around the room.
- Explain to students that you are going to randomly stop the music and call out a number. When you do this, they need to form themselves into groups of the number you have called out and then sit down.
- When everyone is sitting in groups of approximately the right number (the total number of students may not divide equally into the number called), call out a letter of the alphabet.
- Explain to students that they must use their bodies as a group to form the letter. All students must be part of the letter, which can be in upper or lower case.
- Repeat the process by asking the students to resume walking around the area to music.
