Dance patterns

Play music to dance to with your child.

Pause the music at random spots and use your body to create a rhythm for your child to copy.

For example, when you pause the song, you might ‘clap, clap, stomp, stomp’ and your child needs to dance this pattern back to you before you resume playing the song.

Try different music and different dance patterns (e.g. ‘clap, stomp, stomp’ or ‘stomp, clap, stomp, clap’).
