Dance Detective: Go on a “Dance Detective” mission at home or in the classroom. Look for different ways people move their bodies when they dance. Can you find someone doing a dance move similar to the Tooty Ta? Try to copy their moves and add them to your Tooty Ta dance. Share your new moves with a friend or family member and see if they can do them too!
Body Part Bingo: Create a bingo card with different body parts like “thumbs,” “elbows,” “feet,” “knees,” “bottom,” “tongue,” “eyes,” and “whole body.” As you watch the Tooty Ta video or do the dance, mark off each body part as you use it. Can you get a bingo by using all the body parts in the dance? Try making your own dance using the bingo card and see if your friends can follow along!
Feel the Rhythm: Use a drum or clap your hands to create a rhythm. Can you make a beat that matches the Tooty Ta song? Try clapping or drumming along while you do the dance. How does the rhythm help you remember the dance moves? Experiment with different speeds and see how it changes the way you dance!
