Slide Deck

Welcome to Energy and Movement!

Introduce the topic by asking students what they think 'energy' means. Use simple language and gestures to explain that energy makes our bodies move and feel alive.

What is Energy?

Explain what energy is in terms the children can understand. Use a picture of a light bulb or the sun as an example of brightness and energy, relating it to how we feel inside.

How Do You Feel?

Encourage students to share when they feel full of energy. This helps them connect the concept with their feelings and experiences.

Using Our Energy

Show movements or demonstrate with the class. This slide should encourage movement and pretend actions reflecting energetic activities.

Great Job!

Wrap up the discussion by summarizing the key points. Ask students a few questions to reinforce their learning and prepare them to transition to the next activity.
