Freeze Dance Surprise

How it works

1. 1

   Let's start with some simple dancing. Play some upbeat music and encourage your child to dance freely. Watch how they responds when you suddenly pause the music.

2. 2

   Now let's add a challenge. Ask your child to hold a soft toy while dancing, and freeze without dropping it when the music stops.

3. 3

   Now let's play 'Freeze Shapes.' When the music stops, call out a shape (like 'star' or 'ball') and see if your child can freeze in that shape.

4. 4

   Let's try a 'Surprise Pause.' Dance normally, but this time, pause the music at unexpected moments—see if your child can freeze even when surprised.
