Walk This Way

Sometimes Students Have To Move!

After sitting around all day you students might not be in the mood to listen to a reading—not at first.  Here's an activity that will channel some of that energy into a fun, constructive game.  It builds their performance and presentation skills, and it's a whole lot of fun too!

1. Ask students to watch you walk.

2. Invite students to "walk your walk."

3. Ask students to watch your walk again while doing an unusual walk of some sort.

4. Invite students to "walk your walk."

5. Choose a new leader and three followers.

6. Invite the leader to invent a walk and to cross the stage with the three followers copying the walk.

7. Repeat with another group of four.
