PUPILS
THE GAME OF THE STATUE Objective : to maintain its tone in a stopped motion . Aim : to know how to behave . Movement spaces are provided in which the children can take marks to anticipate the stop ( hoops on the ground ). Children move freely in a given space in silence and walking . At a signal ( teacher taps on a tambourine ) children have to strike a pose and hold it in order to listen to the following instruction ( to move on 4 legs ). Teacher taps on the tambourine and the children move on 4 legs . Teacher taps again and they pose as a statue ( crawling like snakes ) so immediately by varying the displacements . Then we add an emotional constraint : at the signal you will transform yourself into a statue ( hands that are afraid ).
