Diane Louise Jordan has the second of three sessions with dances based on popular playground games.
2. Bounce, clap and wiggle!
The session begins with old-fashioned toy-actions and ends with modern-day toys. As well as lively spinning and wiggling games, the children devise clapping and tapping patterns, and develop movement-sequences based on ball-skills and ball-games.
