Dance Party
Enjoy all your favourite songs with an at-home dance party! Use the KIDDO_au playlist on Spotify for a great, child-friendly list of hits!
Set up
Children spread out in the playing space.
How to play
Step 1:
- Pop on your favourite playlist - make your own or follow KIDDO_au on Spotify for kid-friendly hits
Step 2:
- Dance, dance, dance! Explore your house or playing area, by changing the song to suit each room
- Try Pat-a-Cake in the kitchen, Splish, Splash I Was Taking a Bath in the bathroom, and dare we say it... Baby Shark by the pool!
Variations
Make it easier
- Pick 'copycat' songs, such as Simon Says by the Wiggles for children to easily follow along
- Play with babies! Depending on their abilities, wiggle their legs, wave their arms, and watch the smiles
Make it harder
- One child does a dance move, then the other must copy and then add their own, the first child copies this pattern and continue on!
- Try your favourite dance moves from another position, e.g if you love the running man shuffle, try doing this with your hands and feet on the ground!
