Spooky Moves You Can Do at Home!

Learning toe touches on top of the ghost!

If you've got a little one at home, you have probably already answered the question, "When is it going to be Halloween?" Finally, Halloween is here!

Miss Paige teaches Creative Movement at Dance Arts.  She thought up this great way to incorporate movement and imagination into the holiday.  All you need is some rolls of toilet paper, a permanent marker, and a little kid with lots of energy!

You (or your child) can draw little ghost faces onto the rolls of toilet paper.  Stack them up in the hallway, and you have a great game of ghost bowling!  This is a perfect activity you can do prior to trick or treating as a way of keeping your little one busy as you prepare for going out. 

Draw faces on toilet paper rolls, and line them up for ghost bowling!

Grade School kids enjoy ghost bowling too!

Want to get your kiddos energy out after they've eaten too much candy?  Try spacing out a few of the ghosts for your child to run and leap over.  This is a great way to build their skills while having fun with the Halloween theme for even a few days after the big event! 

Every week in Miss Paige's Creative Movement class we do an obstacle course.  You can incorporate these fun little ghosts anyway you like into your own obstacle course at home.  Turn on some Halloween Tunes like Monster Mash, or Purple People Eater,  and your set!

We also have a great way to incorporate those little spider rings you get on Halloween.  It will help your child with their ballet arm movements and is appropriate for a 3-12 year old.  So if you get any plastic spider rings on Halloween, make sure to save them.  We'll show you soon what you can do with them in a future blog!
