Meeting goals: Learn concepts of space and spatial boundaries. Sample tasks: Playing the song "In our yard". Each time the word "peace" is heard in the song, the children will enter a hoop—the teacher explains that this is their personal space and asks what can be done in a personal space. The children stand "in their homes" (the hoops). When the music plays the children go out to skip in the general space (between the hoops), a space that belongs to everyone, and they learn behavioral rules in the common space. |
Meeting goals: Improving static and dynamic balance using various bases and heights. Sample tasks:
Move in space according to the music, stop in any way you like, and at any stop on other body parts.
-
In an "all-four position" move on the hands and feet, change the directions of progress backwards, sideways.
Raise another limb. Find other ways to balance your body on four support bases. Try to move on them.
Try, in a small leg-spread, to detach the legs and turn a quarter turn, a half turn, and land without losing balance.
Balance the body on one of the body parts (not on the legs!)– Buttocks, abdomen, back.

Meeting goals: The children will experience movement at different rhythms and at different height levels. Sample tasks:
Progress in space at a slow pace at a low altitude level.
Move forward at a rapid pace on the toes. Upon clapping move in a stooped position. Move forward in a creative way at a medium-height level
|
Meeting goals: Static balance with eyes closed and on an elevated platform. Sample tasks:
Move between the stools. One knock—balance yourself on the stool. Two knocks—balance yourself on the floor.
Stand on one leg on the stool and together we clap our hands up to the sky.
Stand with one leg next to the stool, try to lift the stool and place it without lowering the other leg.

Meeting goals: The children will move their bodies in different ways and practice how to stop the movement. The children will move in space while considering their kindergarten counterparts. Sample tasks:
Walking around the kindergarten. When the music stops, everyone stands like a statue, motionless.
Walking backwards and standing next to a friend without contact when the music stops.
Imitation dance—mimicking the teachers’ movements. Each time the song stops the children must stand still.
|
Meeting goals: Balancing the body on different fulcrums in different situations than usual. Sample tasks:
Find a partner, try different swings.
Sit back-to-back, combine elbows with your partner, bring your knees close to your chest, try to get up together.
Lie on the floor and try to roll together like a "sausage" (straight body).
Standing alone, try with a large legs-spread to balance on both hands and one knee.
Stand and create a statue on the narrowest base while others (children or the teacher) try to unbalance you by pushing slightly.
