Much like a piece of string, she uses the squiggle to create many different creatures and shapes in her world for her to play with. This would be really good for younger students to spark their imagination. It could be paired with an art or a writing exercise about what they would make with their own squiggles A pre-schooler out on a walk with her teacher and class, at the end of the line, is the only one who sees a squiggle -- a rope or ribbon or something -- on the ground. She grabs it and imagines what it could be: the dance of a dragon, the top of a long great wall, the path of a circus acrobat, fireworks popping, the poof of a thundercloud, the ripple of a pool, the rise of a full moon, etc. Each with a sound or movement. She yells ahead to the rest of the class and makes them stop as she acts out each one. They all smile and cheer at the fun to be had with just a squiggle of a line. no reviews | add a review
