Personal Space Journey – Body Awareness Freebie Here is a freebie page from Personal Space Journey which is a collection of activities to teach children about maintaining personal space. You can download the body cards at http://yourtherapysource.com/personalspacejourneyfreebie.html Here are some suggestions to use the cards for: 1. Musical Body Poses: Scatter the cards around the room. Move to music. Turn the music off. Determine what body card is closest to you. Make your body into the same position like the card. Turn music on again and repeat. 2. Guess Who I Am: Make your body into a pose. The other player has to determine what pose your are mimicking. 3. Memory Match: Print the cards twice. Play a game of memory but in order to keep the match you have to mimic the body position. 4. Quick Brain Break: Match the body positions on the card completing each one scanning from left to right. Continue for 1 minute. Rest and repeat 3 times.
