Directions:
Listen to a favorite song together. Then invite your child to work with you to create a special dance that goes with the song.
Do a couple of steps in sequence, such as "step front, clap your hands, jump back, turn around." Ask your child to follow the sequence. If he has trouble following the steps, break it down and have him copy you step-by-step until he can complete the sequence.
Have your child create the next sequence of steps, and then teach it to you. Put it together with the first sequence.
Continue taking turns, until you have created your very own special dance. Then perform it for family members!
