In this area we have three nice activities to work with very young
children in the area called "Expressive Movement"

kindness, unkindness and sadness (longing).
- To combine these movements with expressive movements
for representing a specific character.
- To practise staying in role while working directly
with a partner (teacher/peer).
- To move freely and fluently using the whole body.
