Pepperoni Pizza

Adaptations / Extensions

For early learners, you could use this only as an association.

For more advanced learners, you could turn this into a dissociation and/or a quick reaction:

Dissociation

• When you play “pepperoni,” students move “cheese.”
• When you play “cheese,” students move “crust.”
• When you play “crust,” students move “pepperoni.”

Quick Reaction

Each part of the pizza has movers with groups assigned to each part of the pizza all parts of the pizza move.

• When you say ‘change,’ they move to the next part of the pizza (crust to pepperoni, pepperoni to cheese, cheese to crust)
• When you say a particular part of the pizza, that element turns on or off. For example, when you say ‘cheese,’ then cheese movers must freeze; when you say ‘cheese’ again, then cheese gets to move.

Assessment / Reflection Suggestions

You can easily see if students are moving in the correct area of the “pizza” and if they are moving with the music.
