NEW Diwali The Festival of Light

Diwali - The Fesitval of Light 

For young children, use small sari pieces as sashes. Teach just 3–4 Bollywood moves at first and add more later.  Children like the “sausage roll” move. Practice the moves together.

Apapt / Extension:

  • Make ankle bells by threading bells onto soft pipe cleaners. These can be worn on feet or wrists.
  • Older children can create their own Bollywood-style moves.

Extra idea:

If you use bindis (forehead stickers), show one first and ask permission before placing it on a child. Use old saris as ribbons for dancing and explain where they come from.
