How to take Freeze Dance to the next level! ☝🏻☝☝🏾
⁣
Imagine if one activity or one song could launch your preschoolers learning opportunities at home. What if you could Expose, Explore, and Engage with the alphabet with just one game of freeze dance?⁣
⁣
Freeze Dance is an easy game. Most preschoolers already know how to play it without me teaching them how. When the music is on the children dance however they want and when the music stops they freeze. This activity lets your little one get the wiggles out while also teaching them a little patience as they freeze and wait for the music to come back on. To take this game a step further, you can spread out foam/magnet letters on the floor or refer to an alphabet puzzle or mat.⁣

1️⃣𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 - use an alphabet song to play freeze dance⁣
2️⃣𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 - let your child pick up any letter they want when the music stops⁣
3️⃣𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 - have them pick a specific letter or say what letter they picked up⁣
⁣
What else can be done during that freeze time to activate your children’s learning?🤷🏾‍♀️ ⁣
⁣
Here are a few ideas to try whenever the music stops to further Engage your preschooler:⁣
✴Choose any letter and discuss what it is, sound it makes, & something that starts with it⁣
✴Find a letter that is in their name⁣
✴Match a letter with a mat or puzzle⁣

So are you ready to try this out at home with your little one? 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐣𝐢 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐳𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐫‼ ⁣🔽🙋🏾‍♀️👍🏾😃 ⁣🔽
