Line Dance

Line dance

Video

Using masking tape make a line across the space.  Ask the children to stand on the line.  Introduce a simple line dance, 4 claps, 4 heels, 4 knee bends, 4 leg slaps, repeat.  During the chorus gallop around the room on your imaginary horses.  Repeat the verse movement.  Extend to change the ending of each section, eg, instead of 4 leg slaps, 4 lassoes around the head.

Music Suggestion: Bellamy Brothers – Let your love flow

Adapt for younger children:

Introduce movements children can do with ease: clapping, kicking legs, hands up high, shoulder shrugs. Extend to standing and include 1 more challenging move each time

Extension:

Invite children to create their own movements to add to the sequence. Perhaps offer this as a performance to parents/carers.
