Hook: Fill The Space<\/strong><\/p>\n

Invite students to stand up and move around the classroom just as themselves. At this point, they should be silent as they walk. \u00a0Focus on moving through space, if see any huge open gaps, fill them. Focus on yourself, just existing in the space.\u00a0 Have them continue to explore the space, now playing with tempo (1=mega slow, 4=normal walking pace, 10=super fast). \u00a0After a bit, call out different body parts for them to \u201clead\u201d their walk from (head, knees, stomach, chest, hips, feet).\u00a0 If desired, have students now add a specific character to walk around the space as. With each character, ask them to greet others, as they continue to move around the space. What sort of voice\/word choice does the character have\/use. \u00a0Go through a couple different character types. (3 year old, grandma\/grandpa, rock star, a business executive, superhero, the most popular kid in school, etc\u2026)<\/p>\n
