Stretching Our Bodies for an Amazing Adventure
Before jumping into the story, Rella B knows it’s important to prepare our bodies and minds for a great experience. Stretching isn’t just physical—it's the perfect way to transition into the imaginative world of stories. Here’s how we warm up:
- Sky Reach Stretch: Reach your arms high towards the sky, waking up your muscles and your brain.
- Side Leans: Lean to each side, stretching your body and mind as you get ready for the adventure.
- Airplane Arms: Pretend your arms are airplanes flying through the sky to help relax your muscles.
- Finger Wiggles: A great way to stretch out your hands and get your fine motor skills ready for the story ahead.
- Toe Touch: Stretch down to touch your toes and feel your body unwind.
- Ankle Rolls: Roll your ankles to release any tension.
- Stomping: Stomp your feet or do a double stomp for extra fun!
- Shake It Out: Shake your body to loosen up and get ready for the fun ahead!
Warming Up Our Minds with a Fun Riddle
Once our bodies are stretched and ready, it’s time to challenge our minds with a fun riddle from Rella B! Can you solve this one?
Riddle: "I’m what happens when things get all mixed up and jumbled. Like when you spill crayons or scatter your toys. What am I?"
The answer is “mess!” A perfect way to get our brains ready for the story ahead.
