Objective: To create a group dance based on a seven-digit telephone number.
Task: Students are divided into groups of 14 or 7 and given a 7 digit telephone number. Each pair of students within each group receives a telephone number digit and is responsible for creating movement to represent this digit. For example, 3 might be three arm circles. Each pair of students teaches its number movement to the rest of the group. After each group practice performing all seven-movements in sequence, they perform their dance for the rest of the class, and the class tries to guess the telephone number.
