First person starts with an invisible piece of clay. They stretch it, mold it and describe what they are doing using the senses, then they roll in in a ball and "pass it" to the next person by taking their hand close to the camera. The next person takes it and turns it into something else and again, describes and uses senses. Teacher can guide and interject to facilitate the conversation.

If you have class numbers, a virtual circle or if kids know who is before of after., you can pass a movement and the next person copies and shares theirs.  Then the next person copies the last movement and shares (idea is not the remember everyone's movement but to see what the previous person made up as their own movement and then you add your own).

Want to wake up your brain?  Have students stand up and you say head and touch your head, say nose and touch your nose, etc.   Then switch it and tell them to do what you say not what you do!  So you would say ears and touch your shoulders say head and touch your ears, etc. Then tell them to do what you do and not what you say.  This really gets students thinking, regulating, moving and wakes up the brain!
