Did you know that you could DANCE IN YOUR CHAIR? This is a perfect way to release wiggles and have some fun in class or online. Introduce one movement at a time and do it several days in a row. Repetition is important for songs and movement activities because it will make children feel confident and encourage them to participate.
Disco Dance – Put right index finger in the air and point to the left. Bring right index finger down by your side.
Swim - Pretend to swim by stroking arms. Can you backstroke? Sidestroke?
Funky Monkey - Fists out in front and move them up and down.
Hitchhike - Right thumb up and move across your body and then left thumb and move across the body.
Chicken - Hands in armpits and flap like wings.
Batman – Make “v” with index and middle fingers and swoop them across your eyes.
Salsa - Left arm bent with index finger up and then right arm bent with finger in air.
Bollywood – Right palm up in the air like you’re screwing in a light bulb and then left palm down like you’re turning on a water spicket.
*Children can do these sitting or standing.
