A fun way to explore movement is to create your own Grab bag
of Movement. Start by creating a
list of all of the movements or activities that you enjoy doing, add in a few
activities you would like to try, and maybe even some movements you have to do
but tend to avoid (I put yardwork or cleaning in this category). Think of this list as your grab bag of
activities, a way to playfully move every day. Once you have your list, now it is time to let your
creative energy flow. It can be as simple as cutting up your lists into
individual slips of paper, popping them in a bag, and choosing a new slip of
paper/activity each day to try.
Another option is using paint pens or markers to put your activity names
on glass beads, stones, wood, whatever object you would like and choose one daily. If you are drawn to images and color
adding both to your activity ideas can help to bring energy and life to what
might feel like routine movement.
You can add color, fancy fonts, or doodles around the words on your list
before you cut them up or pick images you love and paste them to cardboard and
make movement card decks. Use any
medium you want that makes it fun for you. The options are
endless. Think of what inspires
you, and use that energy to create your own personal Grab Bag of Movement. Enjoy!
