GOAL 2:

• Cooperative play
• Imaginative thinking
• Physical awareness
• Turn-taking

EQUIPMENT:

• Tambourine, drum, or rhythm instrument

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Group sits in a circle and passes around instrument, pretending that it is very heavy.
2. Teacher demonstrates “heavy” by physically acting out what “heavy” looks like.
3. Next, pass the instrument around and act out “sticky, smelly, hot, and/or slippery.”
4. Keep the activity and instruction simple. Use non-verbal instruction to explain ideas. For example, demonstrate the “sticky” instrument by getting it stuck on your hands, or clothes. “heavy” may be demonstrated by nearly dropping the “heavy” tambourine.

VARIATIONS / ADAPTATIONS:

• Place the instrument aside and let students brainstorm the next instrument to pass around – this one is imaginary and can be anything!
