# Movement Patterns

Devise and perform a simple movement pattern on the floor. The pattern should include four different elements: jumps, rolls, rocks, spins, balances, and shapes. It should also have a definite start and end shape.

Shapes can be tall, wide, tucked, thin, symmetrical, or asymmetrical.

**Easier:** Fewer elements, e.g. 2 or 3 with start and end shapes.

**Challenge**: Increase the number of elements included.  Include equipment such as a ball or hoop. Can they carry a ball throughout the movement sequence in an interesting way?

**Performance:** Allow children time to perform. Then, discuss how the sequence can be improved and perform again. Allow time for children to discuss how they can improve with you and others.
