SUMMER MASSAGE SCRIPT

"Without talking, you have 5 seconds to find a partner and sit behind them, go (1,2,3,4,5)”
​
"If you are sitting in the back ask your partner if you can give them a massage.”

“Remember your friend is trusting you to be kind and respectful of their body so make good choices.”

• “Let’s get ready for the beach by putting on some sunscreen. Rub sunscreen on your friend’s back, shoulders and neck. Don’t miss a spot” 
• “Now we are going in the ocean for a swim - make the movement of the ocean” (hands move flat on the back in the motion of waves)  “Imagine you are in the ocean and bobbing up and down in the waves”
• “It’s getting too cold so let’s jump out and lie in the warm sand - rub your hands quickly on your partners back to warm them up” (rub flat hands on back) 

• “Help clean your friend up by brushing the sand off their back” (Using your flat hand brush the shoulders and back)
• “The wind is starting to blow” (moving fingers left to write simulating a breeze) “The wind is getting stronger so move your hands faster”

• Oh no! It’s starting to rain. (tap fingers as you move your hands from top to bottom) “Can you hear the rain drops hitting the sand?”
• “We now have to hurry to the car” (Use 2 fingers from each hand to run around the back) “Don’t forget anything! Gather your shoes, towel and chilly bin, run, run”
• “Phew! We are back in the car and there are dry towels. Pat dry your friends back.” (pat with flat hands)
• “Let’s make this the best day ever and go get some ice cream - draw a cone and then a triple scoop - what flavours are they? Shall we add sprinkles? Can you imagine the cold ice cream on your lips and the sweet taste in your mouth?”
  
  

Finish with an affirmation - Have the student giving the massage place their hands on their friend’s shoulders and say “You are amazing” or pick another affirmation: You are….calm, kind, relaxed, a star, great, strong, clever, brilliant.

Have the front child say thank you (Kia Ora) and have them swap places.
