EASE Integration Ideas

Larger Classroom Option:

One card per student of each type of card

**Variation – this can be done in chairs with the card taped to the back of the chairs**

Smaller Classroom Option:

Students make masking tape boxes on the floor for the three (or more) types of curriculum cards:

Students are prompted to go to the box you prompt them to when the music stops:

Using Math:

Tell students when the music stops, to go to any box.  Then do a simple counting exercise: “how many people are in each box”

Subtraction or Addition:

“If we take two students out of this box, how many do we have now?”

QUESTIONS: 

• What steps would you need to take with your class to make sure they were ready for adding curriculum to Freezedance?
• How would you know if they were needing some curricular or Freezedance remediation?
• What strategies would you use to help your entire class if some of them were understanding how to play the game and were ready for curriculum, but others weren’t?
