Butterfly motion activities for inside the classroom.
Works especially well accompanied by music!
Metamorphosis Dance
1. Children start all curled up into balls on the floor (egg).
2. Slowly uncurl and begin to crawl around (caterpillar).
3. Stand up, and spin around, with hands to sides (chrysalis). Stop, and rest.
4. Finally, children lift arms overhead and wave them back and forth-as they fly around the room (butterfly).

Circle of Butterflies
1. Children sit in a circle, with legs straight out in front.
2. Slowly draw legs toward you, raising knees off the ground. Clasp both feet in your hands in front of you.
3. The floor is your "branch," and you're a butterfly sitting on the branch. Holding your feet, move your legs up and down, like butterfly wings flapping back and forth.
