The children should begin by walking around the room in any direction. On the various commands listed, they should carry out the appropriate action:

  • spaghetti - walk round the room tall and thin arms pointed together;
  • tagliatelli - walk round the room arms pointed side by side;
  • pasta twist - walk round the hall turning round and round;
  • pasta bow - walk round with legs and arms apart, bow shaped;
  • lasagne - lie flat on the floor; macaroni-make a circle with arms;
  • pasta shapes - make a 2D shape in small groups holding hands;
  • spaghetti hoops - make a 'hoop' in a small group holding hands;
  • canneloni - roll on the floor;
  • ravioli - stand back to back with a partner.

Hope you find these fun! I also use some pop songs for background music and the kids love it!
