The alphabet game
Call out a letter of the alphabet and see if your kids can make the shape of the letter. When they have mastered this, try a game of Body Semaphore. In partners or small groups, the children make the shapes of letters to send a message to their friends.
Encourage your children to:
- Form the shapes of each letter of the alphabet. Are some letters more easy/difficult to make in terms of keeping their balance?
- Move with their eyes closed. Is it easier or more difficult to balance?
- Put a sequence of moves together. Can they do it to music?
