What to do
1. Suggest ways for the children to move to a new location, such as:
- Pretend you are rabbits and quietly hop to the door.
- Pretend you are a train moving in a straight line.
- Pretend you are mice that no one can see or hear.
- Walk slowly and softly like a kitten.
- Flitter and float like a butterfly.
