Connie Leads a Thirty-Minute Romp Through the Alphabet!

Hello!

I was invited by Kids & Company, of Toronto, Canada, to lead a thirty-minute video movement session for young children in May. Kids & Company requested a presentation that would get children up and moving while spending more time indoors during the Covid quarantine. 

I thought it would be fun to create a short activity for each letter of the alphabet. I devised 26 movement prompts that children and families can do together. This creative movement session will definitely use a lot of that great kid energy!

DANCE THE ALPHABET!

Video Dance Party for Preschoolers

Hello!

Can you swim like a little fish?  Let's all try it now!

I hope everyone is staying safe during this unsettling time. Here is a fun activity that you can do at home, and you can also invite people to dance and sing with you, each using your own computers.  

I recently wrote a guest blog post for Redleaf Press entitled Video Call Dance Party:  Dancing, Singing and Learning Together! Stay connected with friends and family with a virtual dance party, and have a fun learning experience at the same time. There are lots of opportunities for children to practice large motor skills, contribute ideas, and use their imaginations.

Here is the link to the Redleaf Press blog: Video Call Dance Party: Dancing, Singing, and Learning Together!

The kids go jumping all around, let's go, let's go!

The kids go marching all around let's go, let's go!

And they all fall slowly down, to the ground, it's the end, 1 ... 2 ... 3!

Be safe, and keep on dancin'!

Movement Activities for Teaching Listening Skills

Hello!

For this month's blog post, I am linking to a guest post I  wrote for Free Spirit Publishing, the company that published my picture book From A to Z with Energy! 26 Ways to Move and Play.

I have created three new movement activities that are designed around three popular songs for kids. The songs and activities are fun and lively, and children will listen and wait for cues in the music before responding in movement. This is great practice for waiting for and recognizing cues, and developing listening skills and impulse control.
