Investigation: Looping With Movement Cards
Description
Children will learn about repetition and looping by creating dances with steps that repeat.
Materials
- Use larger visuals and numerals for easier grasping and visibility.
- Attach velcro to movement cards and allow children to stick them to carpet or velcro board so the cards don’t move around.
- Provide movement cards that all kids can participate in. Movements might be whole body, hand movements, or even facial movements.
Instruction
- Reduce the numerals represented (start with 2-3)
- Model actions and encourage children to repeat actions without requiring that they complete the action a certain number of times. Focus on repetition, which is a precursor to looping.
