Stage Two: Little Red Riding Hood Activity Plan

Practical Activity - Movement


Movement:

Expressing Emotion:

  • Is the wolf good or bad? How can they make bad faces? How do bad wolves walk?
  • How do we walk when we are happy? What about when we are frightened? When we are scared, we sometimes try to make our bodies smaller and curl up. When we are happy, our gestures are more open and expansive.
  • How do our voices change when we are frightened? The children may have noticed that our voices become more high-pitched when we are scared or nervous.
  • Play around with saying a simple phrase in different ways; with low voices, high voices, fast and slow.

Feelings worksheet:

Print the worksheet and ask the children to draw faces expressing different feelings. You could call out, “draw a happy face”. Once they have done this you could then ask them to draw a scared face and so on.

Below is an activity game that can be used with this lesson plan.

GAME - Who's speaking?

Have some flashcards of different animals. Show the children the cards, then shuffle them and place them in a pile. One child takes a card and looks at the picture without showing the others. Then he or she says ‘Hello!’ in the way in which he or she thinks that animal might speak. For example, a mouse might have a squeaky voice, a bear might have a deep voice. The others have to guess which animal it is. (There aren’t right or wrong guesses in this game as it is up to the individual to imagine the animal’s voice)
