4.2. LIVING STORIES (MASSAGE STORIES)
At all times, it is important to take care of the spine!
Cookie monster
1. The cookie monster expects visitors and
thus wants to bake cookies. The dough
needs to be well kneaded.
(Use your hands to massage the child’s
back, legs and arms).
2. Now the cookie monster adds some chopped
nuts.
(Do some chopping movement with the
outer side of the hand).
3. Now the dough is rolled out with the
rolling pin.
(Stroke with both hands over the child’s
back, up and down applying some light
pressure).
4. Now the cookie monster takes small,
round cookie cutter and cuts many cookies
from the dough (
form your hands to a cramp in a way that
your fingers are positioned in a circle, and
make small circular moves on the body)
5. Now the cookie monsters places the cookies
on a baking tray
(slightly tap on the body with the palm of
your hand).
6. The tray is put in the oven and the cookies
are quickly baked
(put the palm on the child’s back and rub
in two directions).
7. Today the cookie monster wants to bake
chocolate cookies. Therefore it spreads
some chocolate with the brush on each
cookie
(the fingers of one hand represent the
brush, smoothly spread “chocolate” on
different parts of the child’s body).
8. As the chocolate is not dry yet, it adds
some crumbles
(use your finger tips).
9. At the end the chocolate needs to dry and
the cookies need to cool down
(blow all over the child’s body).
10. Originally the cookie monster wanted to
keep the cookies for its visitors, but as it
loves cookies so much, it eats all of them
now!
Pizza, pizza
Firstly knead the dough, then roll it out on
the baking tray (back), spread some tomato
sauce on it, season with some spices, put
salami / ham, onion rings, mushrooms on it
and finally sprinkle with cheese. Then place
the pizza in the oven, it is very hot there (rub
over the child’s back). Oh, how good that
smells (all sniff, really funny), we take the
pizza out of the over, blow it a little colder
and cut it in small pieces … and …. (the first
children start screaming) … bite into it.
Only put simple things on your pizza.
The bear walks like this
Walking up the mountain the bear walks like
this and down like this.
(Slightly tap up and down the back with the
flat hand.)
The frog hops up and down the mountain
like this.
(Tap up and down the back a little stronger
with flat hand.)
The cat slinks up and down the mountain
like this.
(Then stroke up and down the back with
hands.)
The beetle tickles up and down the mountain
like this.
(Tickle up and down the back using your fingertips.)
(Of course you can also use other animals.)
The mouse traipses like this …
The elephant stomps like this …
The snake wriggles like this …
The duck waddles like this …
The caterpillar cringes like this…
All movements of the animals are played
with the hands or the fingers on the children’s
back.
