Dance with scarves

Children dance with colorful scarves to the music of different countries, changing tempo and mood.

Steps

1. Hand out colorful scarves or ribbons to the children.
2. Warm-up: scarves fly high, low, in circles, like a wave.
3. The teacher plays fragments of music: polka, tango, waltz, samba, classical music.
4. Children dance as the music tells them, and freeze on a pause.
5. Finally, groups arrange a short routine with scarves and show it to others.

Tip: Older classes can learn the step of the krakowiak or polonaise and dance it at an assembly.
