Movement Games For Children Of All Ages

Rhythm games that let you talk with your palms, make music with your shoe and write plays with your body. Hilarious ideals for groups: would you believe a Marvelous Machine where people are the parts, or an Awful Orchestra? Imagination trips to near and far-out places. 'Touch' encounters with pencils, pine cones and people! You don't need a piano, or any other instrument. In fact, take off your shoes and stockings before you start using this fun book of movement games! Begin by taking your pulse (in your neck), try Tag with a twist, or a 'pizzazz' version of Musical Chairs (without the chairs). You don't have to be able to sing or dance. You can be between 3 and 12 (or older, university students, even), and any number can play. All the action games in this treasury inspire imagination, freedom of movement, creativity and confidence. They are all challenging and easy to adapt to the immediate needs of the players, whatever their level of physical ability. Packed with ideas, tips, and suggestions, the collection will be valuable to anyone who works with children in classroom, theatre, gym, club or scout meeting, at a party or home, any place where children are and want to Move.
