Let's Move - Movement and dance series for 4-6 year olds.

This unit is based on the Bible story about Noah and the Ark. In this first episode, we are introduced to Noah. He lives happily with his family, but all around him, people are behaving badly. God speaks to Noah and tells him to build an Ark. Noah builds the Ark and gets it ready for the flood.

Episode 1 - Noah builds the Ark - In this programme, children learn a happy dance, then a contrasting angry, stamping dance. They work with a partner, doing different building actions, as they get the Ark ready.

Episode 2 - The Animals Arrive Two by Two - Noah is told by God to find two of every kind of animal. This second episode includes searching and travelling, as we help Noah look for animals to go into the Ark. The animals enter the Ark and the rain begins. Children remember their happy dance from last time. Then, with a partner, they show the different animals entering the Ark.

Episode 3 - The Big Flood - In this final episode, the rain comes, but Noah and his family and the animals are safe in the Ark. They go on a long journey across the sea. The rain finally stops and when Noah sends out a dove, it returns with a trig in its beak. Noah and his family have reached dry land. Then God sends a rainbow, which fills they sky. In this programme, children work in pairs to make the Ark and they travel through space, as though they are being tossed up and down on the rough sea. Finally, there is a big procession of animals and with their partner, children make a rainbow, which fills the sky.
