Toys Dance - 5 dance lessons, K.S.1

This is a pack of five dance lessons for K.S.1, based on the theme of Toys. There is also a resource pack and a PPT presentation to support it. Ideally an actual toy should be used for each lesson, but if this isn't possible, the picture resource provided will do.



Each lesson uses music and the two CDs required are:

'The Synthesizer Album' by Project D & 'Children's Games' by Bizet



The pack includes an original poem called 'The Toy Box' which isn't referred to in the lessons, but is there as an extra resource if required. Each verse corresponds to a lesson, and the individual verses are included in the PPT presentation.



Each lesson culminates in a whole class dance, with the movements for the dance being taught in the lesson. This gives you a short performance at the end of each lesson and, if done with a smaller group of children, can be used in an assembly.

Rubber Ball: looks at the different movements of a ball

Robotic Toy: looks at the stiff movements of a robotic toy
