Movement Activity
Freeze Dance
Materials: Music
Materials: Music
After learning about exercise, encourage your child to get moving with this classic activity. Play some music that makes your child want to get up and dance! Let them dance uninterrupted for a while, but whenever you pause the music, they must FREEZE in place. Then, when you start the music again, they can right back to dancing. The goal is to catch them off guard and have them freeze during silly moments in their dance—and see if they can hold still. (Freeze Dance is also great for practicing self-regulation and listening.)
For even more fun, get the rest of the household involved!
Actividad de movimiento
Baile congelado
Materiales: música
Materiales: música
Después de aprender sobre los beneficios de ejercitarse, anima a tu niño/niña a que se ponga en movimiento con esta actividad clásica. Pon música que a tu niño le guste bailar. Déjalo que baile sin restricciones por un rato, pero cuando pares la música tiene que quedarse CONGELADO en su lugar. Entonces, cuando comience la música de nuevo, puede seguir bailando. La idea es tomarlos desprevenidos y que tengan que quedarse congelados en posiciones graciosas mientras bailan para ver si pueden quedarse quietos. (Baile congelado sirve también para practicar el autocontrol y la capacidad de escuchar).
Para hacerlo todavía más divertido, ¡inviten a todos en la casa a bailar!
