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!
