III.7.2a
- Activities and materials encourage children to dance, move and develop their musical abilities.
Materials:
- MP3 Player or CD player
- MP3 Files or CDs
- Optional materials:
- Scarves
- Ribbons
Procedure:
- Play music for toddlers to dance to in their own ways. Use many different types of music. If toddlers do not dance, dance with them or pair them with other toddlers who have the idea. Focus toddlers’ attention by talking about the beat and the concepts of fast and slow before they begin to dance. Add scarves and other props. Talk about the beat as you move to it.
Extension:
- Moving to music is a lifelong skill. Clap the beat dramatically so toddlers will have visual clues as well.
Assessment:
- The toddler will dance, alone or with others, to the beat of the music. Assess their participation with simple observation notes.
