Drama and Acting

Traffic Lights is particularly good for your younger students and is a good warm up game in terms of memory and physicality.

Your students should get into a space in the room and walk around as a simple pace.

You then have 3 commands: red, yellow and green.

You simply have to attach a simply movement or action to each colour. For example, green could mean touch your toes, red could mean run on the spot and yellow could mean do 3 star jumps.

Extension: You can obviously make the actions more complicated-they could maybe correspond to a number of dance moves that you plan to use later in the lesson. You can also add more colours if you wish.
