Start by asking the children to demonstrate what you mean by finding space.

Put the benches away.

Ask the children to walk slowly backwards, looking over their shoulders and not bumping into each other. The children must then stop and lay down - very still.

The teacher will then move around the class and when they touch a child on the head that child must demonstrate their favourite movement of the lesson.

Put the mats away.

Start the practice off by getting the children to go for a run. Then change you voice to speak s-l-o-w-l-y. The children then have to match their movements with the teachers voice.

The next part of the practice is for children to find a partner and join hands and walk around together using tiny steps.
