As students arrive, say: “Enter quietly and take a seat on the line. Wait there for instructions.”
• Greet at door and ensure quiet entry
• Attendance: call each name while students sit on the line
• After attendance: “Spread out to your personal spots for stretches”
• Lead warm-up stretches (next slide)
• Then: “Time for a quick water break—get a drink and return to your spot. Sit quietly until everyone is back.”
• Teacher monitors water break; students who finish early remain seated quietly

Say: “Hello everyone, and welcome to our Imaginary Motion Magic session! Over the next 45 minutes, we’ll stretch our bodies, move like animals and objects, and use our imaginations to create fun, abstract movements. Let’s get started!”

Say: “Let’s gather in a semicircle so we can all see the movement chart. Today’s focus is on abstract movements. Abstract movements are imaginative actions where we use our bodies to pretend to be animals, objects, elements, or feelings. There’s no single right way to do it—just your own creative version! For safety, remember: move within your space, keep your eyes forward, and use kind hands.”
Then demonstrate: “Watch me drift like a cloud—slow and soft. Now watch me flash like lightning—quick and sharp.”

Say: “Here is our full list of movement prompts. I will call them one by one. When you hear or see the next two prompts, start planning your moves. Substitutes: use this list to call prompts in order and monitor time.”

Say: “Let’s warm up every part of our body. Follow my lead and breathe deeply!”
• Neck rolls: 3 slow circles left & right
• Shoulder rolls: 5 forward & 5 backward
• Arm circles: 5 small, 5 medium, 5 large
• Wrist rolls: 5 clockwise & 5 counterclockwise
• Trunk twists: hold 3 seconds each side
• Side bends: slide hand down leg, hold 3 seconds each side
• Hip circles: 5 right & 5 left
• Ankle circles: lift foot, circle 5 each direction
• Calf raises: rise onto tiptoes, hold 2 seconds, lower (8 reps)
• Reach high & fold: inhale up, exhale fold down
Cue breathing: “Inhale like smelling flowers; exhale like blowing candles.”

Say: “Now for the fun part—imaginative movement exploration! Here’s the routine: I’ll call a prompt, point to the icon, demonstrate a basic and advanced version, then say ‘Your turn!’ You’ll have 1–2 minutes to explore. When you hear my chime or clap, freeze and listen for the next prompt.”
Example: “Swim like a fish—wiggle arms, kick legs. Advanced: pretend you’re deep-sea diving, make bubbles with your mouth!”

Say: “Great job, everyone! Let’s cool down and reflect. Form a circle.”
Ask:
• “Which movement was your favorite and why?”
• “How did your heart feel after zooming like a rocket?”
• “Who tried something new today?”
Then lead:
• “Inhale arms up—exhale arms down.”
Say: “Thank you for sharing your magic movements—give yourselves a big round of applause!”

Use this slide to note observations during the session. After class, transfer notes to records.
• Engagement: eyes on teacher, participation
• Coordination: balance, control, strength
• Creativity: originality, risk-taking
Jot quick anecdotal notes to guide future groupings and prompt choices.

Say: “We’ll adapt each grade’s challenge level.”
• K–2: “Stand near me and copy my movements and simple prompts.”
• Grades 3–5: “Create a mini-sequence of 3–4 prompts and teach it to a partner.”
• Advanced: “Try an emotional prompt (e.g., ‘tremble like a leaf’) or add musical rhythm.”
• Older pairs: “Co-create a 30-second movement story together.”

Say: “We’ll use clear cues and supports to keep everyone safe and focused.”
• Attention: three-note chime → freeze & look
• Transition: 5-4-3-2-1 countdown → next prompt
• Quiet zone: blue mat for calm-down—take 3 deep breaths, then return
• Visual schedule: posted agenda (warm-up, prompts, reflection)
• Group agreement: move safely, respect space, use kind words
• Praise & stickers: “Magic Movement” rewards
• Proximity: stand/knel near off-task students
• Helpers: rotate 2–3 students to ring chime, point to icons
• Emergency: “Safe freeze” → everyone pauses immediately
