Reading and Movement: |
| Line 1: | Hands together in front of your chest; stretch arms out to welcome the spring;
immediately bring both arms back to their original positions; |
| Line 2: | Cup both hands, keeping the thumbs together at all times, "open" out the other
eight fingers, to resemble a flower "opening its petals", remember to keep your eyes on the
'flower' at all time, as though you are actually watching a flower opening its petals; |
| Line 3: | Now, cross your thumbs, flicker the other eight fingers to simulate flying
movement of the butterflies; |
| Line 4: | "fly" towards the right, that is, gradually move your arms to your right. |

** This is suitable for children in Prep, Grade 1 and Grade 2 beginners.
Ask for volunteers to perform this, until each child has a turn at this reading exercise. Follow up: teach right, left, high, low to vary the direction of 'flight', but only after your student have mastered the above. © Ramona A. Chua 1995 |
