Music and Movement

We played with some new equipment in the gym this week - wrist bells! We each received a set of bells that fit over our wrists (and even our ankles). We experimented and discovered the different sounds we could make; soft and loud, fast and slow. While wearing the bells, we sang a few movement songs. We also did our warm up stretches with them.

Next we put on some music and were asked to move in different ways around the gym to the music. We skipped, galloped, jogged and even danced. We moved in various ways depending on the speed and beat of the song.
