Creative Expression

Act out stories and express feelings through language

Express Yourself! 🎭

We can use words, our bodies and our faces to show how we feel and to tell stories. This is called creative expression! You can act, sing, dance and use puppets to share ideas.
Example

Let's Act It Out!

Show me 'happy' 😊 — smile big and wave your hands! Show me 'sad' 😢 — make a frown and look down. Show me 'surprised' 😲 — open your eyes and mouth wide! Show me 'angry' 😠 — cross your arms and stomp!
Example

Story Drama

Let's act out 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' 🐻🐻🐻: — Who wants to be Goldilocks? 👧 — Who will be the big bear? The medium bear? The baby bear? — Use your voice: big voice for Papa Bear, small voice for Baby Bear!
