Poem and vocal exploration - Ask a student to explain how this activity works! I'm hoping they can work together to tell you about the process :) First speak the poem, then follow the ghost pathway with your voice. Do this as a class with teacher tracing the pathway with their finger.

Do the poem again, then the next ghost path etc. We wear our masks for this one as we may project our voice slightly more than speaking.

A : Circle around sticker for 8 counts, pat for 8
B: (Adding one more each time)
Balance on one foot
Balance on the other foot
Down on one knee is added

Teacher note:
Review/Warm-up - they haven't done this one since you're last visit so they would benefit from a repeat! You could try it with some different voices, speaking, whisper, silly, robot, inside your head with actions etc.

-A section - bounce scarf
-B section - float scarf
-C section - throw your scarf up!
