We would love to see your beautiful paintings! Send them to us at: PlaygroundTYAfestival@gmail.com.
YOGA: Calm your body with our special guest, Autumn! Movement like yoga can help you release your emotions physically, and is a practice that Phoenix and Hen use throughout the show. As Autumn explains in this awesome video, it’s good for your body to turn raw emotions into positive energy and intentions. Come move with us!
BODY RESPONSE: Fight! Flight! Freeze! How does your body respond to something frightening, sudden, or dangerous? Do a little exercise with our friend Lauren, a member of the Purple Crayon Players education team, to find out! Up on your feet!
ANIMALS: If you could be part animal, what animal would you be? What does that say about you? How would your animal parts help with everyday life? Let’s draw it! Grab some paper, pencils, crayons, and your thinking cap, and join Lauren for this fun project!
MAD LIB FABLE: Fables are short stories that often contain a message. Today we’re going to use the framework of the fable “The Ant and the Grasshopper,” to create our own fable, Mad Libs style! Join Casey, who plays Duck, and Lauren to learn more about storytelling, Aesop, morals, and more!
