I had to use en example to help them... then they made their own lines etc for the rest of the movement...<br /><br />We also had it so that all children heard the music... so yes, it would be very interesting to see if there would be a difference between how the children drew if they could hear or not hear... were they influenced by the music more than their partners dance movements?<br />it could be interesting for them to draw the movements to three short music sequences... and then listen to the music afterwards and see if they could guess which music belonged to which series of drawings on the paper!!<br /><br />thanks for the feeback EmiliaSuzanne Axelsson - Interaction Imaginationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513322963337168674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5092053382843096891.post-30946827606504476462016-11-08T12:47:32.055+01:002016-11-08T12:47:32.055+01:00I loved the idea and tried it. I struggled a littl...I loved the idea and tried it. I struggled a little though. May be the group was not fully warmed up enough, or may be describing the task to 4 year olds is hard since half of them need to listen to the music and they don't really listen to much, they just started moving around and few of them got into jumping from a little chair one after the other... or may be that is what the music was telling them :) The other kids drew a picture of their partner not a picture of what the dance / moves were telling them. This was also a nice way of connecting albite not my original intent. Ideas for warming up and introducing the activity would be welcome! Also - it would have been great it only the dancing partners got to hear the music but we don't have that many iPods or phones, so everyone got to listen to it. This must have made it a bit distracting...Emilia Salmovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061158645804651489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5092053382843096891.post-19071055528549463602015-03-21T14:53:43.572+01:002015-03-21T14:53:43.572+01:00I like this idea to help students use more then on...I like this idea to help students use more then one way to listen. I plan on trying this with my 4 year old preschoolers. I agree, it would be interesting to see how the student's reflections would change with multiple experiences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5092053382843096891.post-45155739298755067422015-03-13T03:38:39.988+01:002015-03-13T03:38:39.988+01:00Try the Theme Song from Guardians of the Galaxy - ...Try the Theme Song from Guardians of the Galaxy - Come and Get Your Love.
