Finding your monster-music moment
Use contrast to keep the activity interesting: loud and soft, quick and slow, move and pause. Announce one change at a time and give a demonstration. You can make the same game easier or harder by changing the number of moves rather than asking everyone to follow a complicated dance.
Try these ideas together
- 1
March to the beat
Use The Silly Monster March for a simple left-right walking pattern, then switch to marching on the spot.
- 2
Listen for a pause
During a song, lower the volume or pause briefly and ask everyone to become a still monster statue.
- 3
Finish with a slow sway
Choose Best Friends Forever and sway or stretch arms gently as a contrast to the faster marching.
Questions families ask
Can mixed-age siblings play together?

Just a safe bit of floor space, a song and permission to be wonderfully silly.
