Goal of this exercise is improving

  • non-verbal communication

  • receptivity

  • Concentration

Children learn to react to the slightest changes in their partners' body posture and thus train their attention and responsiveness to find a common unity, a single body that speaks and gestures.

Instructions

  1. Two children get together to form a pair.

  2. Using only body language, without speaking to each other, they should both jump on the spot at the same time and then move on again.

  3. They should intuitively find a common rhythm.

Tips
The children should be precise and observe carefully; making an effort does not mean not having a lot of fun at the same time!
