Reindeer Moves

Need a movement activity to help the students release some of their holiday energy and excitement. Try this cute Reindeer Moves game.

DESCRIPTION

Watch your little reindeer leap and prance during this movement activity! Label each of several index cards with a different action that a reindeer might do, such as leap, jump, run, prance, or fly. Store the cards in a small paper bag. Help each youngster trace each of his hands on brown construction paper and then cut out the shapes. Staple the hand cutouts to a paper strip to represent antlers. Then fit the strip to the child's head to make a headband. Have each child wear his headband along with a red sticky dot on the end of his nose. Direct students to stand. Then invite a youngster to remove one card from the bag. Read the word and then turn on holiday music. Invite youngsters to perform the action on the card until you stop the music. Continue in this manner until all of the cards have been used. Go, reindeer! Go!
