Our lesson started off by doing a new warm up where the students stretch and count patterns of numbers. We have done 8,4,2,1 and then in reverse, as well as 9,6,3 in reverse too. I wanted to incorporate counting with the beat of the music during our stretch to help teach the importance of keeping with the tempo of the song.
Each student was given one of the 3 shapes: Circle, Triangle, or a Square. We determined that a circle has no true sides, but has one continuous round edge, a Traingle has 3 side, and a Square has 4. Depending on which shape a student got, they created counts of movement EQUAL to how many sides their shape had.
We all taught our combinations to the class and composed a dance made up of all of our movement sequences. Here are some photos and videos that show their creations!
