Freeze Dance Questions

This is a fun variation on the freeze dance that lets kids practice colour and/or letter skills.

Students will dance to the music.  When it stops, one student yells out a colour (ie, blue) and other children need to point to and name objects that are that colour (ie, blue shirt, blue chalk).

Another variation is for the teacher to have a bag full of large letters (cut out letters, letter molds, etc).  When the music stops, a child will choose a letter from the bag (ie, H) and other children will have to name words that begin with that letter (ie, hat, hop, hand).
