Going Places
Going Places
Locomotor and Non-Locomotor movement is the focus of the "Going Places" Tutu Tales lesson plan. Students learn the difference between a movement that helps them "go places" and movement allowing them to "stay home." A suitcase prop helps children understand when to move around the room and when to move in place. They love pretending to travel as well as settling into their destination for a time of fun.
- “A Dragon in a Wagon” by Jane Belk Moncure, or another travel-related book of choice
- Small cases with handles that resemble suitcases for travel (Craft stores are a good source for small, inexpensive, and usable cases.)
- Movement cards containing Locomotor & Non-locomotor movement words
