WHAT YOU NEED:

• Paper
• Sticky tape
• Drawing implements

WHAT TO DO:

• Adults ask children to lie on their backs.
• If other adults join in, help model actions to the children.
• When children are lying on their backs, everyone moves their legs in pretending walking actions.

Adults talk about the actions and pretend to do them to model the actions to children. The adult can narrate the movement by saying the following “Here we go walking, walking, walking, here we go walking up the hill” Repeat this for the other movements e.g., “Here we go running, running, running, here we go running along the path”

• Walk (along the path, up a hill)
• Run (slowly, quickly)
• Crawl (along the floor)
• Pedal (your bike)
• Kick (a ball)

Or they can pretend to be different animals. Adults guide children by doing the suggested animal. Lying on your back, ask children to ‘walk’ like different animals:

• Lion – stalking, carefully and quietly (light leg/feet movement)
• Elephant – stomping (heavy feet movement)
• Frog – jumping (springy legs/feet movement)
• Duck – waddle (flappy legs/feet movement)
• Hen – scratching (toe movement)
