What do leaves do in the fall? They fall, of course. Here’s an activity to explore lots of actions. Pretend being a leaf and do all the things that it can do: twist, turn, swirl, spin, and dance. Float on the wind, softly, slowly and sink to the ground. Think of some other ways that leaves move. Make the noise of the wind. This activity combines using and developing new vocabulary with exploring movement. It exercises the body and the imagination.
What do leaves do after they fall? They sleep! At least for a few seconds. Shhh. Do you know some good music for dancing leaves?
