Children will dance when the music is on and freeze when
it stops. You will call out an animal every time the music
stops and during the next dance part, they have to move
and stretch like that animal.
Suggested
Animals: giraffe, octopus, bird or duck, monkey, high stepping
horse, stork, cat.
A variation
would be to play Ocean Motion (a movement game that involves
moving/swimming like various sea animals) or Dinosaur Dance.
