Walking through the paths Caring Observation Appreciation of different environments Respect

The teacher talks to the children:

Let's imagine we are going along the mountains. Don't forget we have to walk always inside the paths, on the contrary we could step on the plants and some animals that live in them and even we could get lost.
So let's observe all the things we find in our route and let's enjoy the landscape and the fresh air.

The teacher puts up several strings on the ground of an open place, as if they were paths.

The teacher will mark different rhythms and the children will walk along the paths according to them, watching their steps in order not to step out of them.

The children will walk through the paths several times; from the second one on, they will imitate the way in which some animals walk, while going along them (cat, kangaroo, rabbit, snake, etc).
