For gestures remember…
1. The movement should
clearly connect to the
meaning of the word,
concept, or phrase, and the
students should be able to
explain the connection.
Can be used for:
Vocabulary
Phrase to remember
Contractions
Syllable Types
Steps for…
Possessives
2. Appropriate a movement
for each syllable if it is a
vocabulary word.
3. Use the gesture every time
you say the word, concept, or
phrase.
Come up and grab another note card.
Look at the vocabulary words written on the board to
identify your word part.
Find the rest of the syllables in your word.
As a group, figure out a gesture for the word.
Remember: The gesture must connect to the word to
make it a Good Move, and you need a slight
movement for each syllable in the word.
Be prepared to share.
