Seaside & Under the Sea Level: Early Grades - Listening, appraising & movement

Ship's Statues

The children dance around the room to the music. Stop the music every so often and, each time the music stops, call out which position the children must freeze in:

• Pirate – stand on one leg
• Sea snail – curl up
• Ship's Captain – salute
• Starfish – spread out on floor

Listening extension

After the game, take the opportunity to ask the children about the music, for example:

• What did you like best about the music?
• Was the tempo of the music fast or slow?
