| Imaginary Rhyme | Mud Walk Have kids put on their pretend boot and start to walk to an imaginary puddle of mud. Have them step in the mud and become “stuck”. Try to pull their boots out of the mud, but their hands get stuck. Knees. Head. All the way to floor. Adapted from a rhyme in The Mailbox. |

| Action Rhyme | Flies Fly The fly flew over my head. The fly flew under my chin. The fly flew between my feet. The fly flew down my nose. The fly flew beside my cheek. The fly flew beneath my eyes. The fly flew in front of my tummy. The fly flew above my eyebrows. The fly landed on my right hand. The fly blew behind my left knee. The fly flew up my whole body. Source: The Mailbox Bugs Each kid received a popsicle stick with a stamp of a fly. They moved the stick around based on the rhyme. |
| Movement Activity | Snail, Worm, Cricket Using bug cards, have kids practice moving like the bug on the card. Slowly increase the speed of the switching of the cards as kids become more comfortable with the movement. Source: The Mailbox |
| Movement | Surprise! I am a little caterpillar. (have kids curl) In my cocoon, I go to sleep. (make sleeping sounds) And I won’t move about for days! (stop moving) But I know I’ll surprise you soon. And do you know just why? (yell why!) When the time is right for me, I’ll be a butterfly! (Burst out) Source: Adapted the gross motor movement from The Mailbox. |
