Hey guys i just taught my very first creative movement class this past saturday and it went very good... i just need more dance games to play with them, they lose interest even faster than i thought! lol i played the beanie bag song/game with them, and that kept them occupied for about 15 minutes lolm and the class is 45 mins long lol any help would be great,thanks!

Try to find as many cds by Greg & Steve as possible! They are great for the younger kids - lots of movement activities. Kids in Motion is especially good.

Hap Palmer also has some great cds, including Can A Cherry Pie Wave Goodbye, and Sally the Swinging Snake.

Props, props and more props - in addition to the bean bags, try hula hoops, lummi sticks, fairy wands, scarves, parachute.

Have fun!

In my daughters class they love a game called "toe soup" they all sit in a big circle and work on flexiblity by sitting in splits or "with they're feet touching they're friends" and they all go around the circle and say "something" they are throwing into the circle... (just random kid things) teddy bear, shoes, toys ect. So at the same time they learn flexiblity...
I hope that made some sense. I'm adding a picture because I dont think I was to clear on how they sit though.



^^ Hope that helps a little.
I'm not a teacher, but my daughter loves the game.
