Musical Hearts

This week in Large Group, we played Musical Hearts.   We played some music and danced in the middle of the rug.  When the music stopped, we froze and Teacher Heidi had one of us choose a heart with an action on it.  We used our words to tell the class what action we were going to do and then we all did the action. 

  

 We did jumping jacks, touched our toes, froze like statues, sang a song, hopped, pretended to shoot baskets, ran in place and marched.  It was a lot of fun to move to the music and then do some of the actions.  We talked about the actions as a way to work on using verbs in speech.

To work on this concept at home, talk about what you are doing or what you see other people doing.  Use "ing" verbs to describe what you see.
