Instructions
Students observe their surroundings and choose a natural element to embody, such as a tree, swaying grass, a bird, water, wind, or a butterfly – anything they see or feel in nature.
There are two versions of the exercise:
- Charades-style version: One student silently acts out their chosen natural element while others guess what it is.
- Full-group movement version: All students move freely within a defined space, embodying their selected nature-inspired motions simultaneously. Afterwards, they gather in a circle, take turns sharing one movement they enjoyed, and reveal which natural element they represented. The whole group then repeats the movement together.
