Children’s Activity 63: Hand Shadows

An Indoor Play Activity

All you need for this activity is a darkened room, a lamp, and a little imagination.

Materials Required:

  • Darkened room
  • Lamp

Instructions:


All you need for this activity is a darkened room, a lamp, and a little imagination.

Adjust the lamp until the shadows it casts are clear and the lamp itself is out of everyone’s way. (You don’t want any accidents arising from the sudden movements of enthusiastic audience members.)

Then try the following shapes – or make up your own.

A flying bird:

Link your thumbs and wave your fingers as you move your hands in an upward diagonal path.

A quacking duck:

Join your two hands together, interlocking your fingers. Then extend your two index fingers and turn your hands so your palms are parallel to the floor. Tap your index fingers against one another.

A butterfly:

Place your thumbs side-by­side; keep your fingers together. Touch your palms together, and then return them to their original position. Repeat.

Amazing how many pets you have between your fingers!
