Everyone Can Dance...even giraffes
Giraffes Can’t Dance is a great book where we meet Gerald the giraffe and follow him along as he learns that his dancing is beautiful too. Here is the video of the story Giraffes Can’t Dance. See video above... https://youtu.be/vZjsLK5vwNU Discuss: Now that you have already seen the story, reflect on when and how you feel like Gerald the giraffe. When you are finished discussing the video... we would love to hear your thoughts. Please share your thoughts using the forms button. CREATE an Animal Inspired Dance: In the story there is a long list of action words that Gerald does during his journey. Please think of a grassland (African Safari) animal that you could create motion(s) for to represent the animal. In your original dance try to include 1-4 motions. Make sure you have enough space and a clean background behind you when you take pictures/video. Dances should not be more than 4 motions in length, feel free to repeat your dance two times if you want -(1GB file size max). No audio is needed. List of action/motions from the story: Creep, sway, shuffling, swishing, swing, leap, twirled, bow Possible directions/pathways you could move---sideways, forward/back, zig zag, up/down Silly videos to also get you up and moving: Monkey See Monkey Do Giraffe Dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XHIx6CQ7Tw Just Dance Kids: The Monkey Dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpdRc9L97TY Comments are closed.
