Description
Freeze Dance - Kids Yoga - Boom Deck Perfect for warm up games, instant activities, and brain breaks! Play your students favourite dance music and show the Dance and Freeze cards to indicate when your students “dance” and when they need to “freeze” to match the yoga pose. Why do Occupational Therapists love to use Freeze Dance Activities? They help students to develop motor skills, listening skills, develop their skills in following directions, impulse control and learning to stop and go. Dancing is lots of fun, gives children an appreciation of music and builds strength and coordination. Imitating the picture poses requires body awareness, the ability to imitate, motor planning skills and spatial awareness. The start and stop music requires auditory processing and responding. Being able to attend to and process some sounds while tuning out background/ambient sounds helps children strengthen their ability to receive, organise and interpret auditory input.
