Creative movement games

There will need to be a bit more imagination needed to play this online but that is definitely doable. Choose one student to be the wolf and one student to be the princess or prince. All the other students pick any animal they want to be.

I then tell everyone that their character must find a specific ballet step to show how their character moves. This is like a real ballet! Birds can leap. Next the wolf needs to find a space in their room that will be their cave and hides. Everyone else pretends they are having a dance party in the forest. Play some fun music and narrate the story:. They would have many dance parties that would last well into the night. Finally once they were all tired out they would fall asleep in the woods.

The next morning the animals woke up and they all started another dance party. While they were dancing they looked around and noticed the princess was missing! They searched everywhere but she was nowhere to be found. They realized she must be with the wolf. The princess was saved! The wolf agreed! They all continued their dance party with everyone in the forest! The end! This game I love to use with my preschool ballet classes. I have tried many different versions but they all have the same elements.

The complete game that I use in my classes with all my props is listed in my ebook Creative Movement for Preschool Ballet: Incorporating Props which is on Amazon. You can also check out this poster from Flow and Grow Kids Yoga for ideas and inspiration. In addition to mindfulness, yoga promotes impulse control and bodily awareness which helps the overall development of self-awareness and dancing.

Try to find as many insects outside as possible. Afterwards, challenge children to create their own poses based on the insects they saw. For inspiration, check out this resource from Kids Yoga Stories.

This is good for the very curious child that loves getting dirty and playing with bugs anyways! It checks off the science subject box too. Check out the yoga poses and additional links below to help with the 4 creative movement games.
