Dance Creation Station: Gather your friends and create your own special dance! Use the moves from the article like clapping, stomping, and shaking. Add your own twist to make it unique. Once you’ve created your dance, perform it for your classmates or family. Think about how dancing makes you feel and share your thoughts with a friend.
Celebration Art: Draw a picture of a celebration you remember or imagine a new one. Use lots of colors to show how happy and exciting the celebration is. Include people doing some of the fun activities from the article, like giving high fives or doing the chicken dance. Share your artwork with the class and explain what makes celebrations special to you.
Observation Walk: Take a walk around your school or neighborhood with a teacher or parent. Look for things that remind you of celebrations, like balloons, music, or people smiling.
