Spiritual development objectives:
- Improve listening to others and concentration skills
Activity guidelines
Two beavers are on the playing area. One faces the audience and the other one has her back to the audience and concentrates whilst listening to her partner.
During approximately 30 seconds, the beaver facing the audience will make some sounds that can either tell or not tell a story.
When she finishes, the beaver specifies “I have finished”.
The second beaver will then immediately turn around to face everyone and recreate during 30 seconds the movements inspired by those sounds.
Comments
The child does not have to translate all the sounds that she heard into gestures: She might have only remembered one of them, maybe the one that inspired her the most.
You must give free rein to the children’s imagination: If the first one says “knock knock”, the second one will not necessarily pretend that he is knocking on a door.
