Movement Activities
- Find a piece of contrasting music. For one section dance big, for the other section dance small. Use imagination to add excitement to the activity, be giants and elves!
- Practice making big and small shapes. Pretend to be balloon filling up and leaking air, be plants growing from a small seed to a big plant, be big snowmen and melt in the sun getting smaller.
- Take a favourite song and dance activity (the Hokey-Pokey, Itsy Bitsy Spider, etc.) and use size, sometimes dancing big and other times dancing small. Ask your child which way they prefer dancing.
