Paintbrush

Paintbrush is an active, musical, large group activity commonly used as a warm-up.

Preparation
This activity requires music to be played, preferably from speakers. A bold volunteer could sing!

Directions
As music is played, the kids will dance, pretending specific parts of their bodies are paintbrushes (e.g. – their head, their arms, their legs, their fingers, their nose, their tongue, etc.) and use those body parts to "paint" on a "canvas" (in the air, on the ground, on the walls). As they dance, call out different parts of their bodies to "paint" with, and different objects to "paint".
