Mirroring and Shadowing with Second Grade

Students in Second Grade learned about the movement concept of Mirroring and Shadowing.

Mirroring is when the leader is facing a person or group that follows their movements moving the same side of the body at the same time.

Shadowing is when the leader is facing AWAY from the person or group that follows their movements moving the same side of the body at the same time.

Through these activities, students learn about form, line, and shape and how to focus and follow the physical movement of others. Next, we will extend this activity through different variations (stay tuned!).

Below are videos of student leaders leading the group in Mirroring. Enjoy!
