Lesson Plans
Creative Movement from Spots
In this lesson plan designed for grade levels K-2, students explore size and space relationships of objects through motion.
Rhythm study with Straight, Curved and Angle Lines
In this lesson plan, students will explore rhythm, using shape and 3 types of lines (straight, curved and angles). Students will work together in groups and use their counting skills while moving.
Be a Star (Shape & Energy Focused Lesson)(2025)
This creative movement lesson is a great lesson for students to explore star shapes and constellations through body movement.
Circle of Names
This creative movement lesson using syllables is a great ice breaker for the beginning of the year or semester, a time when students are getting to know one another and the teacher is getting to know students’ names as well.
