Beetle Position and Movements
Children explore the beetle position together and consider all the ways a beetle can move. Practicing beetle movements provides a good foundation for The Beetle poem game, which is also available on this site.
Instructions:
Check the beetle position together: the beetle position resembles a bear walk, but the back can be rounded and the legs bent.
Come up with different ways to move while in beetle position.
Tips for Beetle Movements:
- Beetle walk forward
- Beetle walk backward
- Beetle walk sideways
- Beetle spin
- Beetle jump
- Beetle zig-zag jumps (stay in beetle position, keep hands in place, jump legs in and out)
