I have this book and have used the yarn activity for a few years now with Kindergarten students who love it, Would love to hear more about your future movement project for older students!

Karen – I’ve loved this book and used it as well! Thanks for all your great ideas. I want to share that I’ve also had students use ribbon wands (like Chinese ribbon sticks) to move to traditional Chinese music:
– they can show melodic line, beat, dynamics through the shape of their ribbon movement.
– play ‘follow-the-leader’ where all try to follow the ribbon movements of one student; or mirroring in partners
– move without the ribbon sticks, imagining different body parts as the ribbon – both arms, just left leg, shoulders, etc.
