Skills and Concepts:
- Recalling locomotor and non locomotor movement
- Creating movement phrases
Vocabulary:
movement, motion, memory, farewell, goodbye
Activity:
This is a fun way to end a music and movement session. The activity can be done in a circle, in a scattered
formation, or with participants standing in front of their seats. Choose 4 people to be leaders. Each leader
chooses a simple motion from the day's activities such as marching, clapping, or jumping. The leaders take
turns and stand inside the circle or come to the front of the room. Everyone else follows the leader. After all
four leaders have had a turn, the participants try to recall the four motions and do them one after the other
creating a movement phrase.
Now is the time to say farewell
With the motion memory good-bye game
Show us a way you moved today
And everybody will do the same
Show us a motion you remember
Show us a motion you remember
Show us a motion you remember
Show us a motion you remember
(repeat the first four lines)
