Full Body Rhythm!
As always, the kids were keen to do standing and dancing songs today, but rather than the regular jumping fare, we did songs like Ram Sam Sam, and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, that had more distinct rhythmic elements that the older kids could focus and clap along to while the grownups bounced the little ones in time. The group is extremely attentive and participatory! When we did Walk, and Stop, the kids not only stopped on a dime, but they really got into hamming up the theatricality of the song, posing while they stopped. Can’t wait to continue singing along with them and their fantastic energy in our next session!
