Transformations: 10 minutes

Instructions:
 Ask everyone to stand in a circle.

 Divide the children into teams of 5-8 people.

 The teams will form themselves into assigned objects/machines (e.g. bus, waterfall, stereo, etc.).

 Each team can either pick the name of the object/machine "blindly" from a hat, or the facilitator can assign each group a topic.

 Teams "privately" practice forming their object/machine, then "perform" for the large group.

 Make sure teams have enough time to plan how they will demonstrate their object or machine.

 The whole group tries to guess the object/machine as they go.

Modification: Small groups can also choose their own object or machine.
