Gesture Games for Autumn and Winter: Hand Gesture, Song and Movement Games for Children in Kindergarten and the Lower Grades

A second volume of Wilma Ellersiek's wonderful seasonal gesture games, fingerplays, and songs in the mood of the fifth. This collection completes the cycle of games for the course of the year, following on from 'Gesture Games for Spring and Summer'. Dramatic changes in nature take place in the fall, as the summer's fruit matures and is ready for harvest, the trees change their color and the first frost touches plants and flowers around us. In the moving and touching games of this book we can experience the blowing of the autumn wind, the fog hanging in the air and the earth getting ready for winter. The companion CD (sold separately) also includes songs from the Spring and Summer book.
