Dance games/activities
Move Like the Music
This dancing game allows children to identify the theme of the music, and the emotions they feel while doing so. The dancing to the music thus exhibits the emotions they feel while listening to it- if it is a happy song, they can dance by bouncing and if the music is calm and even sad, they can dance by swaying instead. This game makes them think and not move mechanically, allowing them to develop well cognitive and emotional abilities, and reacting to them by exhibiting certain body movements.
Dance the Action
This game basically requires children to enact certain words through the medium of dance. You could either make cards or call out words like blossom, rain, wind, fly- take your pick, and then ask the children to enact them with music. You could use this dance moves game to also help children remember the meanings of certain words, and can also be a great way to learn!
Small to Big
The game is beautiful and relies on the imaginative capabilities of the children. Firstly, identify a growth pattern. This could be flowers-plants-trees, or even caterpillar-pupa-butterfly! There is nothing better than dancing to something that also educates and adds meaning. Children will not only learn new things, but also have fun while learning a little more!
Heartbeat Hop Dance Game
Combining two childhood favorite past-times, that is, hopscotch and dancing, this game is exciting for all! The game requires a caller- who will call out numbers one and two, based on the heartbeat. When one is called out, the children have to hop on one leg, and when two is called, the children have to hop around on both their feet, and have to create interesting patters on the floor. This tests their resourcefulness and creativity!
Freeze Dance
In this activity, everyone dance as the music plays.When the music stops, each player must freeze immediately and hold that position until the music begins again.
You can add a spin on it and add a “discipline" if a player does not freeze immediately, s/he does 10 jumping jacks, push-ups etc. during the start of the next round and then rejoins the dance.
Winner gets to be the DJ/judge of the next round.
