Ribbon Dance
Setting: at home
in living room or large area
Materials:
Ribbon
Drumstick
Music
Instructions:
Play music and allow the individual to
dance freely while playing with the ribbon and twirling it all around while the
tail of the ribbon dances around and twirls.
Tell them when there is a change in the
song, they have to change hands to dance around with the ribbon.
Purpose: The
purpose of this activity is to emphasize the use of dexterity and also the use
of gross motor control in the movement and twirling around the room. Balance is
needed in order to twirl around the room without falling. Use of the ribbon and
the music along with free dancing helps to encourage emotional expression.
