Movement to express yourself

We’re celebrating Place2Be’s Children’s Mental Health Week to shine a spotlight on the importance of children’s mental health.  The theme this year is 'expressing yourself'.

Movement is a great way for children to express themselves, whether it’s through playing sports or showing off their favourite dance move.  As we all spend more time sitting in front of a screen during lockdown, it's more important than ever to make sure we all get up and get moving.

Dynamic Dancing

This lesson plan from Champions will get your class up and moving by showing how simple steps can link together to create a dance routine.  Encourage children to share their favourite dance move, link them together and create your own class routine you can all perform on a video call.
