2. Animal Moves

How to play:
- Choose some music that reminds you of an animal.
- Become an animal character. Can someone watching guess which animal you are?
- Can you create movements where you pretend you are moving over or under things in your animal’s habitat?
- With a partner, what happens when two animals meet? Can you create a movement to show what happens?
- Can you be creative and become lots of different animal characters?
- Can you keep trying to improve your animal character?
Top tips:
Get into character. How would your animal move? What things would be in their natural habitat? Are they big and scary or small and sweet?
Reflection:
Did you move staying in character? Could you imagine your animal moving through forests or water, over hills or under logs?

- Stand a comfortable distance away from your box.
- Hold your object with two hands. Underarm throw your object into the box. If it goes in the box, move the box a step away. If it misses, then move the box closer to you.

- Now see how many successful attempts you can get in a row.
Top tips:
Look at the target when you’re throwing.
Use the video for a demonstration
