Earthdance by Joanne Ryder

Instructions

1. Read the book Earthdance and encourage the children to act it out.
2. As you read the book, describe what certain things mean and how they can
be acted out.
3. Then, ask the children to stand up (give yourselves plenty of "wiggle room"),
and as you read the book again, act it out with the children. The children will
love it, and it makes a much more powerful impression on them.
4. End with a discussion on how we can take care of our Earth.
