Float slowly and wavily around the room to calm music. Twirl through a tentacle dance holding ribbons in your hands. Dim the lights and let the jellyfish glow with flashlights. Then sink slowly to the ocean floor as the music gets softer.
Fun Facts About Jellyfish
Jellyfish have no brain, no heart, and no bones, and they're mostly made of water. Even so, they've been around for hundreds of millions of years β much longer than dinosaurs. They move by squeezing their bell and pumping through the water. Some jellyfish can even glow in the dark. Important at the beach: never touch a jellyfish that has washed ashore, because some can still sting.
