Our day started off with lots of laughs and giggles. Jarrod from Young Actors Project spent an hour and a half with us teaching us all about using our bodies and our faces to pretend and act.
We warmed up by sitting on a chair in new and interesting ways...
Then Jarrod introduced three items that we were invited to come up and pretend that they were something different. We used the item for its new purpose and the rest of the class guessed what it was….
and….action
A cup, a popsicle
a hairbrush
a weight
a hat
a duster
a body scrubber
a paintbrush
a belly button
then we had a volunteer come up and show us how she would act out being an old woman
then we had a cowboy
and a princess
we were chewing gum
and blowing bubbles large enough to cover the school
large enough to cover Vancouver!
then we were pretty tired!
Jarrod then split us into two groups and whispered an action to us to act out for the other group to guess.
This group was building a sandcastle.
These kids were building a snowman.
I think this was basketball.
ballet
marching
monkeys
penguins
Then, Jarrod told us that the chairs were a little bit different and we had to act that out for the others to guess. Once the chair were sticky, another time they were comfortable, another time they were uncomfortable, another time they had something sharp on them, another time they were slippery.
Finally, we did "story time". Jarrod started the story by saying a sentence and then the next person added the next sentence and so on.
We had so much fun!!! And….we get to do it all again tomorrow afternoon! So lucky!
