A 20-minute story of what happened to Jack and Jill
Here's the story of what happened to Jack and Jill after Jack fell down and broke his crown. Children will comprehend the themes, actions and plots involved in these two fictional stories that continue the saga of Jack and Jill.
The primary physical objective is for children to perform a continuous series of movement patterns with increased repetitions of large muscle groups for a twenty-minute period.
The language objectives are to help children identify, comprehend and conceptualize more complicated story lines, conflicts and plots by acting out and following these imaginary adventures in the world of make-believe.
1Up and Down the HillChildren pretend to walk up and down hills in different directions, searching for water, then pretend to fall as Jack breaks his crown, falls asleep and dreams. The activity develops balance, coordination, strength, and body control.

The activity develops motor planning, coordination, strength, and imaginative movement.
3Planet Ga-Ga, the Goo-Goos and the Ooey Gooey GuyThe pterodactyl grabs Jack, carries him into outer space and drops him, as children pretend to fly through space like Jack, dodge meteors, bounce on another planet, dance like the Goo-Goos, shake from what appears to be an earthquake, and then swim away from the Ooey Gooey Guy. The activity encourages whole-body coordination, balance, strength, sequencing, and imagination.

The activity reinforces rhythm, vocalization, relaxation, and positive closure.
1Stop and ThinkAfter Jack falls down and breaks his crown, Jill has to stop and think, moving her arms like a fast-moving clock before continuing her journey to fetch a pail of water to throw on Jack and wake him up. The activity develops sequencing, motor planning, rhythm, and cognitive flexibility.
2The Mountain Goat and the Windy Windy RoadJill begins her journey to find water as children move like a mountain goat, ride on its back, then travel down a windy and winding road using zigzag movements. The activity builds balance, coordination, motor planning, and body control.
3The Owl, the Cliff and the Thick and Thorny ForestJill realizes she is lost but gets guidance from an owl who is exercising, as children exercise like an owl, balance heel-to-toe across a fallen tree, then push through thick leaves and quickly step through thorns. The activity develops balance, coordination, strength, and motor planning.

Level 6 · Great Gorillas
Advanced movement sequences on a giant's underground journey
This is the beginning of a giant story as the giant Burt starts building a house for his family, but falls into a hole and begins a journey to find his way out and back to his family. Children perform advanced sequences of movement patterns similar to tai chi and other movement and dance arts programs to practice sequential patterns that enhance coordination, rhythm skills and cardiovascular endurance while comprehending a mystery story about a giant and his underground journey. The language objectives are for children to identify, comprehend and conceptualize a continuous fictional story of a giant who gets lost in a very mysterious underground cave.
1The Morning WalkChildren explore different ways of walking—as a giant, princess, and baby—changing their steps, speed, and body movements. The activity develops balance, coordination, body awareness, and movement control.
2Sing and DanceChildren sing and dance like a giant, princess, and baby, using different movements and voices for each character. The activity encourages rhythm, vocalization, coordination, and creative expression.

4The Backhoe BoogieChildren follow a fun sequence of reaching, digging, turning, stepping, shaking, and dumping to music. The activity develops coordination, sequencing, rhythm, motor planning, and movement control.
5The Big Black RockThe backhoe can't break a big black rock, so children dig around a giant rock, push it, fall into a hole, land in thick mud, and react to imaginary worms. The activity develops strength, balance, coordination, body awareness, and imagination.
6Alone in the HoleThe rock falls over and covers the hole and the giant can't see a thing, so children take tiny giant steps to find their way through the hole and out of the mud. The activity encourages motor planning, body awareness, self-regulation, and positive self-awareness, as in tai chi.
7The Love BopThe giant is confused and scared but needs to stay positive and brave, so children do the Love Bop with him by giving themselves a hug and saying, “I love myself—and you too!” The activity promotes positive self-awareness, connection, and emotional well-being.
1Stop and ThinkThe giant doesn't know what to do and has to do an exercise that helps him calm down and think clearly, so children move their arms and feet in opposite directions while walking in place. The activity develops coordination, motor planning, problem-solving, and persistence.
2Climb and FallThe giant thinks he can climb out of the hole, so he tries to climb up the walls, and children repeatedly climb an imaginary wall using their arms and legs before falling back and trying again. The activity builds strength, coordination, balance, motor planning, and perseverance.
3Spurtles, Bats, Butterflies, Butterfly Bats and Upside-Down SnakesSince the wall is too steep and slippery, the giant decides to keep going even though he doesn't know where to go and what strange things may lie ahead, so children pretend to move through an imaginary cave while pushing away webs, crawling like spurtles, flying like bats and butterflies, and slithering like upside-down snakes. The activity develops whole-body coordination, flexibility, balance, and imaginative movement.
4Slipping, Sliding and Icky Yicky Sticky StuffThe giant starts sliding on some slippery stuff and then some sticky stuff, so children slide like snowboarders, then move slowly through imaginary sticky stuff. The activity develops balance, body control, coordination, and movement awareness.
5The Popcorn PatchThe giant smells and hears popcorn popping, so children hop like popping popcorn, carefully cross a narrow patch while reaching for popcorn, then quickly move across the hot ground. The activity builds balance, coordination, strength, and motor planning.
6The Zig Zag StrutThe cave is getting smaller and zig-zaggedy, so children move sideways through an increasingly narrow cave, then duck and crawl as the space gets smaller. The activity develops spatial awareness, coordination, balance, and motor planning.
7The Little PeopleThe giant sees a light and looks through to see little people singing and dancing, so children dance and sing with the little people, then practice calming themselves with the Love Bop when the little people run away. The activity encourages rhythm, vocalization, emotional regulation, self-awareness, and positive interaction.
8The Love BopThe giant yells “HELP” as loud as he can and scares the little people away. The giant is feeling sad and helpless, so he needs to do the Love Bop again to give him hope and make things feel right!

“
In The Chill Pill Prescription book, I like how author Scott Liebler shares his personal story as an illustration of the seven-step prescription for managing stress, tension, and anxiety. It's a relatively quick read that artfully weaves his story together the with the science of stress and the seven steps that will help readers respond more positively in difficult situations. Liebler offers simple exercises and memory cues that will help readers respond in the moment with confidence and calm, instead of the instinctive responses of fight, flight, or freeze. I found myself using the chill pill prescription within 24 hours of reading the book. Highly recommended.
