BODY EXPRESSION GAMES

In our last P.E lessons we have started a new dynamic of exercises that are very different from the common ones, like playing bastketball, football, or whatever. The function of this kind of games is the expression of the body, also lose your embarrassment and learn about how to spend time with all our classmates.
 
     - THE ENERGY BALL: everyone makes a circle and one person starts throwing an imaginary ball made of energy. You have to imagine it and you can make it smaller or bigger, as you wish, and also you can throw it the way you want.

     - BANG-BANG: the teacher points to anyone and this student has to bend down and the people on the right and left have to shoot each other. If the person in the middle doesn't bend down at time or the other two don't shoot, they die.

     - ZIP, ZAP, ZOP: people make a circle and one person starts saying "Zip" and choose another person to say the next word "Zap" and when someone fails, lose the game and the finalists remains.

     - TO GREET: you have to dance according to the music and when the teacher stops it, he/she will say a kind of greetment, like "you see an old friend", or "you meet someone" and you would shake hands with the nearest person.

     - EXPRESS AN IMAGE: the teacher will show an image and you have to express with your body that photo, but not describing it. You must express a feeling or an action that it inspires you (not only superficially)

 
    - THE DOLL: this game consists in acting like your partner or you are a doll and you only can move if the other person controls the threads. You can make an action or like a sculpture.

    - TOUCH THE WALLS: you have to move touching all the time the walls and then, the floor will be lava and you must run to a safe and high place.

    - MIME: you have to do action with your body at a certain number of temps from music, so your partner has to understand you without sounds. You can mime a sport, a routine (wake up,  brush your teeth, get dressed and go to school), or what you prefer.

    - HIGH, MEDIUM AND LOW LEVELS: in theatre or in dance, there are three different levels of body expression: high, medium and low. You have to dance at the rhythm of the music; when the teacher says "high level", you must dance like ballet dancer, with your arms high, when he says "medium level" you should keep dancing normally; and when he/she says "low level", you must bend down and try to walk in that position.
