Movement Experience 1 Indoor 15 Minute Movement Plan

1. Activity: Surfing Warm Up

Materials: Cones or something else to define playing area, CD/Tape Player,
Music: The song Wipe Out
Skill Theme: Stability
Concepts or Skills: Time, flow, space awareness, directions, levels,
and body awareness
Description: Have the students find a good personal space in the playing
area. Tell them to get ready to listen to the music. Start the "Wipe Out" song.
When the drums are playing, the students will imitate a drummer. Or you
can have them swing their arms vertically in front of them, swinging up
above the head and down to the waist. Encourage them to stay to the beat
and tempo of the drums.
When the music changes (drums stop), the students imitate a surfer,
bending at the knees and moving up and down. (The students need to stay
in their personal space). Stand up and put your 10 toes over the front of the
board and lean backwards using the arms for balance and "Hang Ten"!
The music will change back to the drums and the activity repeats itself.
Time: 3 minutes

2. Activity: Ribbon-Stick Movement

Materials: Ribbon sticks for each child and any music
Skill Theme: Stability and Manipulative

Description: Children wave a ribbon stick in different ways to the music.
They move the ribbon sticks through the following movements while
remaining stationary: above,
to the side, in front of, or around the body,
at low, medium, and high levels
in figure eights, snake and lasso.
Time: 6 minutes

3. Activity: Move Across the Floor

Skill Theme: Action Awareness - Locomotor Skills
Concepts or Skills: Effort Awareness force, Space Awareness space and
directions
Description: Mix and match the various steps and directions and have the
children move through the space with the plates under their feet. This will

Skill Theme: Locomotor (hopping, sliding, running, leaping, )Stability

awareness( turning, twisting, bending, stopping, swaying)

Concepts or Skills: Effort awareness (speeds, rhythm, absorbing force,

dimensions) Action awareness (locomotor skills, stability skills,) Space
awareness( space, directions, level, pathways) Body awareness (body parts,
roles, locations)

Description: Tell children to listen to the directions and move to the music.
Girls listen and do the movement hen boys listen and do the movements,
Then all together the dance. Children must listen to the music and free
dance around.

Time: 3 minutes

5. Activity: Cool Down

Materials: none
Skill Theme: Stability (stretching, bending, turning, twisting, rolling)

Concepts or Skills: Body Awareness (body parts, body shapes, roles,

locations), Space Awareness (directions, levels, space, level, pathways) Effort
awareness (speeds, degrees of force, absorbing force, flow)

Description:

Hold your hands together and stretch your arms up high in the
air, then stretch your arms down real low, then back up again
and then down. (2 times)
Shake it out
Now hands on our hips and twist, slow the fast, and slow
again
Shake it out

your shoulders
Shake it out
Roll your shoulders then stop and roll the other way
 Lean to one side, then back together, lean to the other side
then together

Time: 3 minutes.

Integrated content area(s): Movement and Math will be integrated by

the children listening to the beats and rhythm and patterns with the change
in the tempo.

 Movement Experience 2 Outdoor 15 Minute Movement Plan
1. Activity: Warm Up
Materials: ribbon bracelets

Skill Theme: Manipulative and Stability (stretching, bending, turning,

twisting)

Concepts or Skills: Body Awareness (body parts, body shapes, roles,

locations), Space Awareness (directions, levels, space, level, pathways) Effort
awareness (speeds, degrees of force, absorbing force, flow)

Description:

Hold your back and neck up straight and stand on tip toes
Pick up your ribbon bracelet and wav it while you hold your arms
out and lean to right then left
Stand with legs apart and bend one knee, while waving your
ribbon bracelet, then the other
Roll shoulders forward then backwards
Shake out arms and around with ribbon bracelet
Circle your head then stop and circle the other way
Now, one hand on our hips and twist, slow then fast, and slow
again while moving the ribbon bracelet with the other
Lean to one side, then back together, lean to the other side then
together with your arms swinging
Now reach for the sky to pick a leaf from a tree, waving the
bracelet
Breath in and out times 3

Time: 3 minutes

2. Activity: Shape jump and measure

Materials: Cut out shapes from shelf liner, masking tape and yard sticks
Skill Theme: Measuring and Locomotor Skills
Concepts or Skills: Space, direction, flow and location
Description: The children will have 4 lines where there are shapes spaced
out with a start line. A partner will measure with a yard stick how far the
child jumps or leaps to the shape. Once the child gets to the shape they will
name it by shouting it. Once the children made their way down the path of
shapes they will (with teacher help) record the highest number and run to
the end of the line. This will continue until all children have a turn. It can
continue a second time if they would like to. Could also do a jump off for the
greatest distance.
Time: 5 minutes

3. Activity: Rhythm Stick Movement

Materials: homemade rhythm sticks
Skill Theme: Manipulative and Locomotor
Concepts or Skills: Space awareness, Effort awareness, and Body
Awareness
Description: The children will be instructed to follow directions modeled by
teacher with the rhythm sticks. They will focus on body awareness by being
able to identify the parts to touch and tap with the rhythm sticks. I will have
them touch their friends shoulders with both of the sticks identifying the blue
end and rainbow end. Then they will walk around in a line with pathways; zig
zag and straight. The children will recognize patterns and be able to repeat
them. I will call out different ways for the children to manipulate them.
Time: 4 minutes

4. Activity: Ball Boogie

Materials: Small balls

Skill Theme: Stability (turning, bending, balancing, jumping, stretching)

Concepts or Skills: Effort awareness (speeds, dimension) Space awareness
(directions, levels) Body awareness (body parts, roles, location)

Description: Each child gets a small ball to hold in his/her hands. Give
directions like, put the ball over your head, between your knees, behind your
back, etc. Vary the speeds, slow, medium, and fast. Vary the levels, high,
middle, and low.

Time: 5 minutes

Activity: Bean Bag Toss

Materials: bean bags, balls, buckets, laundry baskets
