Shape Stomp and Free Dance
Shape Stomp
Draw shapes on a sheet of paper like a square, triangle, circle, etc, and color the shapes using different colors. Lay the sheets around the floor in an open space. Tell the children that you are going to select one child to stomp on as many shapes as the class counts each jump, while music is played for about 30 seconds. Ask the child which shape he or she stomped on more than any other shape.
Free Dance
Each child does their own thing and is able to express creative movement through music. You will be surprised with gifts children have. Put on a favorite song and simply dance. By dancing children learn about spatial
awareness, co-ordination, and body awareness. You have also have individual solo dances for a short period of time and then see if the children can copy that creative dance.
