Goal of this exercise is to improve
-
the responsiveness of individual children to auditory cues
-
the group's ability to react to the falling movement of individual children
-
Neurosensory perception
-
Body tension
In this trust exercise, the children learn to let themselves fall slowly. In doing so, they train their attention and responsiveness to coordinate as a group.
Instructions
-
The pupils think of a number between one and ten, but keep it to themselves.
-
Now music starts to play and everyone moves around the room.
-
The teacher stops the music and calls out a number.
-
Those who have thought of exactly that number slowly drop (rather slump). The other students have to react very quickly to catch those who fall down.
-
The music starts again, everyone thinks of a new number, moves until the music stops again and a number is called out, and so on.
Tips
The aim is to bring momentum into the group and to achieve quick reaction and helping intervention.
