Level Six Class 1 Giant's Journey Part 1

What's in this class

The Morning Walk

Children 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.

Sing and Dance

Children 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.

Build a House

The giant goes to work building his house as children pretend to chop trees, cut logs, saw wood, and dig with a backhoe. The activity builds strength, coordination, motor planning, and whole-body control.

The Backhoe Boogie

Children 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.

The Big Black Rock

The 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.

Alone in the Hole

The 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.

The Love Bop

The 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.
