Get the Eazymec plates needed for the lesson (see the heading "Things you need").

Eazymec plates: Grab as many plates as the groups the children will be divided into. Example: If you have 5 groups, 5 different plates are needed.

To create an environment that stimulates:

• Play that can challenge children's gross motor skills, creativity, communication, cooperation, memory, sequencing, self-esteem and security.

• Prerequisites for being able to think, learn and communicate in different contexts and for different purposes.

• Children's ability to explore, communicate and reflect.

1. Start by talking about what characterizes different movements.

   • Ask questions that encourage discussion.

2. Use charades to engage children:

   • How does the ocean usually move?

   • How does the frog usually move?

   • How does the horse usually move?

3. Describe the scenario:

   • Chewy has promised to create a dance for a show, but is having trouble coming up with moves for the dance. Can the children help him create the moves?

1. Division into groups: Divide the children into smaller groups for collaboration.

2. Eazymec plate selection: Let each group choose an Eazymec plate that represents their group.

3. Create movements: Each group is tasked with coming up with their own movement that is associated with the plate they have chosen.

4. Accounting for movements:

   • When each group is finished, have them take turns showing what movement they have created.

   • The group should say or show which Eazymec plate they have, and then show the movement.

   • Place the plates in a line from left to right, and combine all the groups' movements into a single dance.

5. Challenge: Once the children have learned the entire dance, try doing the dance in reverse order (right to left) by starting with the last movement and working your way backwards.

Collect all the records together and thank the children on behalf of Tugge for their help in creating the dance.
