- STEP 1: Choose a piece of music that is very expressive OR choose a series of sounds (like a sound effect playlist).
- STEP 2: Ask students to listen to a piece of the chosen music/sound. Advise them that as they are listening, they should be thinking about one word that captures the meaning of that sound.
- STEP 3: Tell students that you will play the music/sound again and that this time, they should move so that their bodies demonstrate the word they chose for that sound.
- STEP 4: Play the next segment of music/sound. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
- STEP 5: Tell students that you are going to play the 1st and 2nd segments together this time and they must dance their 2 word sequence.
- STEP 6: Continue this process until students have sequenced a dance of between 5 and 15 sounds.
- STEP 7: Ask students to volunteer to share their dances for the class.
