crouch
Crouch is like when you pretend to be a small, fluffy kitten hiding under a chair. You bend your knees and bring your body close to the ground, so you can be really sneaky and small. It’s like making yourself into a little ball, just like how a cat curls up when it wants to hide or play.
Another way to think about crouching is like being a frog ready to jump over a puddle. You bend your knees and get low to the ground, so you can spring up quickly. Your legs are like springs, ready to push you up and away. It’s a fun way to get ready to move fast, just like a frog!
Crouching is also like when you play hide and seek and need to get small to hide behind a bush or under a table. You fold your body, so no one can see you. It’s a bit like being a turtle pulling its head into its shell. You become smaller and more compact, so you can hide or get ready to move quickly. Crouching is a playful way to change your shape and size!
