African Savannah Stretch

You will need: Savannah Stretch prompts (printable), speaker, music (suggested african drum music)

• Form a circle with your students and ask them to stand.
• Explain to the class that at the start of each morning all the animals on the African Savannah come together to stretch and move their bodies.
• Play the music attached and begin stretching with the class. Use the Savannah Stretch Prompts (printable) attached or you could use your own stretches.

I Wonder...

You will need: no equipment

Find your own space in the playing area. Skip carefully and freely around the playing area.

I wonder... can you:

• skip angrily, happily, sadly, lightly, loosely
• change your skipping speed every 10 seconds
• skip to the beat of my clap

Freeze Dance

You will need: speaker, music (suggested I Like to Move it Move it)

• Ask students to dance around the room as creatively as they like.
• When the music stops students must FREEZE still so the predator on the Savannah (the teacher) doesn't see them move.
• If the predator sees them moving students step into the predators den (step out of the game).
• Students frozen out may join back into the game the next time the music is stopped.
