How it works

Great! Let's start by explaining the game to your child. Say something like: 'When the music plays, we dance! When the music stops, we freeze like a statue. Let's try it together.' Then play a short bit of music and stop it after a few seconds.

Now let's mix it up! Play music for different lengths of time—sometimes short, sometimes longer. Encourage your child to keep dancing until the stop, then freeze. You can say: 'Keep dancing... and FREEZE!'

Let's add a fun challenge! Ask your child to dance super fast or jump, then freeze. Say: 'This time, dance as fast as you can... and FREEZE like a statue!' This tests stopping a high-energy impulse.

Now let your child be in charge! Say: 'Your turn to control the music! Tell me when to dance and when to freeze.' If needed, you can suggest your child says 'go' and 'stop'.
