What sound will the three or four soils make when added to the ecosystem?
Kids will show with their hands what they are-producer, consumer, or decomposer. For example, producers could hold their arms up in the air for tree branches. Consumers could hold their hands up like bear or lion claws. To demonstrate decomposition and the break down of organic matter, decomposers could cover their stomach with their hands. Make four lines on the ground as shown below. The kids will face away from each other on lines 2 and 3. They decide unanimously within each team which of the three to be. On your count of three they face inward showing their symbols. When you drop your arm, the dominant group rushes to tag the other team who runs to get to their free zone behind line 1 or 4. For example, if line 2 were consumers and line 3 were producers, when they faced each other they would see that the consumers (line 2) are going to chase the producers (line 3). When you drop your hand, they run toward line 4. If the producers get behind line 4 without being tagged, they’re free
