Before ou Begin

Talk to children about “magic wands” and how they transform things. Tell them that they are going to pretend to be diff erent animals, like frogs and dinosaurs, and diff erent things, like trees and toy tops. Talk about how those animals and things move.

Invite children to show you their interpretations of the movements.

TIP

There is no right or wrong way to move! While you may wish to play and move with children, encourage them to sneak, strut, and stomp in their own way. Some movement words, such as slither, may be unfamiliar to children.

Associating an unfamiliar word with a familiar animal helps children build

Demonstrate how Magic Moves™ works (see Let’s Move). Press the Play

Button and move to the music. Press the Repeat Button, and encourage children to move with you. Try this several times. With a younger or more inexperienced child or group of children, you may want to take an active role in leading the group.

With an older child or more experienced group of children, let children take turns being the

“magician” to transform the group.

Let’s Move!

Magic Moves™ is simple to use.
