Walking warmers

Listening and acting.

Procedure: You need a space free from chairs and tables. Use a
selection of activities, each lasting about 10 to 15 seconds, to build
up a five-minute period. See the BOX.
Note: These activities are potential 'warmers' for new classes and
for classes in which the students know each other. The physical
movement and the inventiveness can provide a welcome change
from more sedentary work. The examples in the BOX are
divided into those, which involve the students as individuals,
and those, which invite the students to relate to each other.

Variation: Ask the students to invent their own actions and to take
the role of organiser.

As individuals
Tell the students to walk about:
- as if they are exhausted
- as if they have just heard some wonderful news
- as if they are carrying a heavy suitcase
