Welcome to Movement Adventure!

Introduction

Greeting and Warm-Up

"Hello, my little adventurers! Today, we're going on an exciting journey through the world of movement! But first, let's get our bodies ready for our adventure. Everybody stand up tall like a tree. Stretch your arms up high and reach for the sky! Now, wiggle your fingers like leaves in the wind. Great job! Now, let's shake our arms and legs like we're trying to shake off some silly butterflies!

Movement Story Time

Now that we're warmed up, let’s sit down together in a circle. I’m going to tell you a special story about a brave little kangaroo named Kiki who loves to hop and explore!

Kiki the Kangaroo's Adventure

Once upon a time, in a big, sunny field in Australia, there lived a little kangaroo named Kiki. Kiki was full of energy and loved to hop everywhere! One day, Kiki decided to go on an adventure to find the biggest, bounciest trampoline in the whole wide world.

As she hopped along her path, she met her friends:

• Tommy the Tortoise, who taught her how to crawl slowly.
• Lila the Ladybug, who showed her how to flutter gently.
• Benny the Bunny, who raced her in a hopping contest!

Each of her friends shared their own special ways of moving. Kiki learned that every movement is unique and fun!

Movement Activities

Let's Move Like Kiki!

After the story, it’s time to move just like Kiki and her friends! We will:

1. Hop like Kiki - Let's see how high we can hop!
2. Crawl like Tommy - Let’s get down on our hands and knees and crawl around the circle.
3. Flutter like Lila - We can pretend to be ladybugs by flapping our arms gently and making our way around the room.
4. Race like Benny - We’ll have a playful race, hopping from one side of the room to the other!

Closing Circle

To finish our movement adventure, let’s all sit down in a circle again. We can share our favorite movements. Raise your hand and tell us: What was the silliest move you did today? How did it make you feel?

Conclusion

Great job, everyone! You all moved like true explorers today. Remember, movement is not just fun; it helps our bodies grow strong and healthy! Until next time, keep hopping, crawling, and fluttering wherever you go!

Goodbye Song

Let’s sing our goodbye song together to end our adventure!

(Here, you can create a simple tune or use a well-known melody to help kids sing a song about moving and having fun.)

Remember

Movement is not just for today; it’s a part of every day! Be like Kiki and keep exploring your own movement adventures!

Let's get ready for the next fun lesson, my little athletes!
