Tips for Parents and Carers
This is a great lesson to repeat every other day, letting your kid/s release their energy in an entertaining and educational way.
Kid/s sometimes just stare at the screen upon first seeing a new video, so just encourage them to move about and follow the moves. You could demonstrate the movements for them, or move their arms around until they get the hang of it. After a few sessions of Dance Dance Move they will feel more confident to sing and act out some of the moves.
