Movement
The children pretend to be cold, making shivering sounds. They cross their arms in front and pat shoulders. They jump to get warm, bending knees and landing on tiptoes. They show how out of breath they are by panting. When the weather changes to sunny, they walk on the spot in a favourite sun hat and sunglasses, looking cool, and swinging their arms with smiley faces. When it starts to rain, they pretend to hold up an umbrella and march on the spot with a grumpy face.
