Tableau
A tableau is a type of frozen picture that that can tell part of a story. With your family, read a favorite storybook and then retell the beginning, middle and end in frozen tableaus. Don’t forget to make the picture interesting by using levels, facial expressions and props!
Pantomime
Pantomime is a type of theatre where the actor performs with no props (things) in their hands and no sounds. (Similar to the game charades.)
For this activity choose one of the following:
-- Create a pantomimed object. Show this object to your family and see if they can guess
what the object is.
-- Create a story with a beginning, middle, and end.
-- Perform your story with no sounds and no props. See if your family can figure out
what happened.
Puppetry
Create a puppet with things you find around your house. Perform a puppet show for your family with the puppet you created. Use your imagination. Turn anything into a puppet.
EVERYONE Get Moving!

3rd Grade
We just started our choreography unit and we were beginning to create our own dances and "secret codes." Now you can create your own! Below is a review of how to create your own secret code. You can use the worksheet at the bottom of the page to help you organize or you can use a regular sheet of paper from home.
1st - Pick 3 basic movements that you want to work with. For example - Jump, Skip and Crawl
2nd - Pick a Symbol to represent each movement.
Jump = Triangle
Skip = Square
Crawl = Circle
3rd - Think of 3 ways you can change each movement and how you can also change the symbol
Fast Jump - Filled in Triangle
Jump in a circle - BIG triangle
Jumping while traveling - half filled in Triangle
After you have created all of your movements. Write out the secret code!
Don't Forget! Does your code include ...
A Clear Beginning - How will your dance start? A frozen pose? Entering from off Stage? A surprise jump front?
A Clear Ending - How will your dance end? A bow? Leave the stage? Melt to the ground?
Mix it Up! Think of ways to make your code interesting - Moving around the stage, changing the speed or level of the movement.
