ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Move It! | Dance Like an Animal Movement, Dancing, and Brain Breaks for Kids
Hi there! Are you ready to have some fun? Today, we’re going to dance and move just like animals! Doesn’t that sound exciting?
First, let’s get ready. Stand up and make sure you have some space around you. We don’t want to bump into anything while we’re having fun!
Let’s start by dancing like a lion. Can you roar and move your paws like a big, strong lion? Roar! You’re doing great!
Now, let’s hop like a bunny. Can you wiggle your nose and jump up and down? Boing, boing! Look at you go!
Next, let’s waddle like a penguin. Can you flap your arms and waddle side to side? You’re a cool penguin!
Let’s pretend to fly like a bird. Stretch out your arms and flap them up and down. You’re soaring high in the sky!
Finally, let’s twirl like a dolphin. Spin around and pretend you’re swimming in the ocean. Whee! You’re amazing!
Wow, you sure know how to move it! Dancing like animals is so much fun. Thanks for dancing with me today. See you next time! Bye!
Animal Observation Walk: Take a walk outside with a grown-up and look for animals or pictures of animals. Observe how they move. Do they hop, waddle, or fly? Try to mimic their movements. How does it feel to move like them? Share your favorite animal movement with your friends or family.
Create Your Own Animal Dance: Think of your favorite animal that wasn’t in the video. How does it move? Create a new dance move based on that animal. For example, if you like kangaroos, you might jump high and far. Show your new dance to your friends and see if they can guess the animal!
Animal Movement Storytime: With a grown-up, read a story about animals. As you read, pause and act out the movements of the animals in the story. Can you make the sounds they make too? This will help you understand how different animals move and sound.
Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
