EYFS Animal Dance: Movement and Music Activities Pack

How might an animal dance?

This engaging resource pack will get young learners to explore movements and give them the opportunity to move energetically outside or in a large, indoor space.
Pupils will explore how animals move and imagine how they might move in time to music. The opportunity to describe their movements will introduce pupils to new vocabulary.

Included in the EYFS resource pack

• Animal image cards
• Animal movement vocabulary cards
• Teacher notes with guidance on how the resources could be used in the classroom
