KICK THE BLUES--YOU CAN DO MAY!

 

KICK THE BLUES! 
RUN, SKIP, DANCE THROUGH MAY! 

What If You Had Animal Feet!? will help!

LET’S STOMP


Have each child choose his or her favorite animal feet. 

Choose some foot stomping music and have the children spread out at least an arm’s length apart. Then turn on the music and have kids dance where they’re standing. 

Remind them to dance as if they had their favorite animal feet



Afterwards, ask the children to tell how it was different to dance with that animal’s feet. 



FOOT SWAP




What if one day a rhino woke up with another animal's feet!? In fact, with kangaroo feet! What could a rhino do if it could hop like a kangaroo? How might a rhino have a problem living with kangaroo feet?

Now, imagine other foot swaps.

What would each of these animals do it could do before? What problem might it have?
      *A Mountain Goat with Rhinoceros feet?
*A Cheetah with Kangaroo feet?
*A Barn Owl with Cheetah feet?
*A Giant African Millipede with Green Basilisk feet?

I hope this Foot Work makes you HOPPY!?
