Kids Week
My goal is to make every child as happy as this one! Dance should be fun especially when teaching preschoolers! Kids week is a idea we have been using for the last five years. Children and parents love to feel involved in class and whats going on. This is a great way to let them taking the rains (without actually handing over control ;p )
Simply put the kids/parents choose the music. We do this by putting a post up on our Facebook group asking 'What is your Childs favourite song? '
and viola! you have a whole list of songs that children will adore hearing. Some of our kids current favourites are
- Can't stop the feeling from Trolls
- Your Welcome from Moana
- Shout out to my ex by Little Mix
- Lets go fly a kite from Mary Poppins
- Hold my Hand by
Jess Glynne
- Hakuna Matata from Lion King
- Ready to run by One Direction
Then all you have to do is make up a short phrase for each of the songs or use current dances just set to different music.
We usually run this once a term (usually on a bank holiday when people need that extra incentive to come to class ) This mixes it up and keep classes fresh and exciting.
Let me know what you think and how your very own kids week goes!
