The group was quite large today, with the addition of some new kids. It was a bit of a tricky class with that size, as well as some occasionally disruptive sibling dynamics, but the group as a whole seems quite gelled together, even when they're talking over each other (but we're working on that). At the suggestion of the Birkdale staff, I incorporated some games into the circle, starting with a pass the rhythm game, and then going into the improv game What are you doing?, which the kids loved so much that we played it three times. I had a bit of a harder time today getting kids to sustain notes together or sing in harmony, as the rowdiness spilled into some...creative vocal explorations. Fortunately the staff were there to support and help keep the kids from being too disruptive. We finished off in the circle again, passing around dance moves, which was the loudest part of the class, but the kids were pulling out some impressive moves!
