Objectives:
- Understand the words over and under.
- Explore ways of getting by an imaginary fallen tree.
Setting:
Form a circle with one person standing inside the circle holding a
stick vertically.
Activity:
Imagine the stick is a tree. When you hear the music, walk around the tree. When the
tree cracks and falls, the person with the stick places it across the path of the people moving
around the circle. Move by the tree in the way described in each verse. In the last verse create
your own way to get by the tree.
As I was walking homeward bound
One cold and windy day
I heard a crack ... a tree fell down!
And there it lay blocking my way
So I went over, over,
I made it home by going over the tree
As I was walking homeward bound
One cold and windy day
I heard a crack ... a tree fell down!
And there it lay blocking my way
So I went under, under,
I made it home by going under the tree
As I was walking homeward bound
One cold and windy day
I heard a crack ... a tree fell down!
And there it lay blocking my way
So I jumped over, over,
I made it home by jumping over the tree
Supppose your're walking homeward bound
On a cold and windy day
You hear a crack ... a tree falls down!
Now find a way to get home today
Show us your way, your way,
Show us your way to get by the tree
