Description

Ce jeu permet à la classe d'être sur la même longueur d'onde et de prendre conscience de l'importance du contact visuel.

instructions

  • Have the Classroom Teacher ask for students to form a circle.
  • You will start with passing a clap and the word “Zip” around the circle in one direction, with energy! The goal here is to try to maintain a steady beat as the clap is passed around the circle.
  • Once the class has managed to pass the clap with continuous energy and rhythm, you can level-up to change the direction of the clap. “If we want to change the direction of the clap, someone needs to say ‘Zap.’”
  • “When the clap gets to you, you can send it across the circle by making eye contact with a classmate across from you, and saying ‘Zop.’ This sends the clap across the circle and the person who receives this clap can decide what direction to start the clap again.”
  • Réflexion
    • Students can reflect on what makes this game successful.
    • “What are things that were done that made the game more challenging?”
    • “How do these qualities play into becoming a strong ensemble?”

Transition vers l'activité

“We are going to take some time to get even stronger as an ensemble. We have to feel each other’s energy to make this game really successful. Are we ready?”

Transition hors de l'activité

“Let’s take one deep breath and see if we can all clap at the same time. One, two, three, clap!”

Aménagement de la salle de classe

 A standing or sitting circle.

Supports/Matériaux adaptatifs/Outils

  • Create a circle with chairs, or tape on the ground.
  • Nonverbal options: “Zip”=one clap, “Zap”=two claps, “Zop”=three claps. Or create different gestures for each one.
  • A metronome or music with a strong beat can help with keeping a steady beat.
  • If/when someone makes a mistake—we cheer!
  • Instead of clapping: point, nod, create gestures as a class.

Rôles possibles pour les professionnels de la classe

  • Demonstrate the levels as we learn them as a group.
  • Help reset the circle if there is a moment when the clap becomes stuck on one side.

Réglages pour l'instruction à distance

Try to assign students numbers, so each one knows their place in the
virtual circle.
