Favorite activities from the PWO board

Queen Caroline

Check out the K-1 favorite from our Vice President-Niki Bernier

This is one of my favorites in K-1 for many reasons. I love to let the little make up movement to each section. We notice that the first phrase is the same as the fourth and we love to do it in a spoken round with movement. Check out the file below for some rhythm cards to go with it!

If you are looking to integrate more creative movement into your curriculum, check out the tried and true movement ideas for every level from the book Meaningful Movement by David Frego and Marla Butke. Our Treasurer, Alisha Wohl, loves using the Name Gesture activities from the book.
