The body has a special language of its own. This book encourages children and adults to use that language and dance! The games here combine dance and play in ways that release a child's spontaneity and self-expression. Appropiate for parents, teachers, camp leaders, babysitters, and other caregivers, it is filled with simple games that the whole classroom or family -or just two people!- can play and learn from.
You don't need dance training or athletic skills.
All players need is a willingness to have fun and experience the joys of moving and interacting with others. These noncompetitive games reward children for their involment, encourage them to use their imaginations, and show them how to express how they feel and think -without words.
The games are organized by type: meeting and greeting games, concentration games, dances that tell stories, party dances, "muscle puzzles", dances using simple props (such as balloons, fans or cardboard boxes), and many more.
Dance games encourage and develop: Creativity, Self-esteem, Physical coordination, Sociability, Self-expression.
Each dance game contains an age guideline, and estimated time of play, and suggestions for the most appropiate type of music. The games can be played by children and adults of all ages, and are flexible enough to be used by parents ans teachers in a variety of settings.
