Use masking tape to create an island on the floor. Tell the children it is a safe place to get away from imaginary sharks in the water. Play upbeat music and have the children walk or march around the island. When the music stops, the children rush to get on the island and away from the sharks. Encourage them to help friends who may still be in the water. Each time, make the taped island smaller. Encourage the children to cooperate and get their friends on the island.
