This Adapted Book For Movement And Imitation Skills, "Sharkey Can, Can You?" is a fun way to get students to practice imitation skills, body parts, gross motor movements--and incorporates yoga poses although they are not called out by name. This book can also be used as an interactive adapted book and includes a matching piece for each pose.

This activity is meant to be used as a transition activity, a brain break, and to settle students between an active activity (cafeteria, recess) into a calmer activity. The teachers or therapist reads the book, as students follow along and copy the shark's poses.

Sample Text:

Sharkey can....reach up high.

He can look toward the sky.

Sharkey can...reach up high.

Can you????

Sharkey can...reach down low.

He can do it really slow.

Sharkey can...reach down low.

Can you???
