Music for these dance games can be picked up on the piano or button accordion. Any folk melody suitable according to the words will do. It can be “Oh, you canopy, my canopy”, a melody of ditties.

Fun games that keep kids entertained, entertained and educated don't burden parents too much in terms of their use. There are many resources available on the internet with highly interactive and educational games which are provided completely free of charge. The classic traditional games are being replaced by electronic versions, because of which children move less actively, as they spend more time sitting at a computer or game console. This needs to be understood by parents and all adults who are responsible for the development of children. Therefore, now, more than ever, the relevance of children's outdoor games has increased. And dance games for kids in particular.

Earth, Air, Fire, Water
This game makes children act quickly and clearly, broadens their horizons, allows them to be creative. All children stand in a circle, and one is placed in the center and given a tennis or other small ball. To the music, the children, holding hands, move in a circle counterclockwise, and the leader moves in the opposite direction. When the music stops, everyone stops. A child with a ball in his hands should carefully throw it to the one standing opposite in a circle and say one of the words to choose from: earth, air, fire or water. The child who caught the ball must respond by naming the animal or creature associated with this element.
For example, if the driver shouts “water”, then the second child should name an animal that lives in the water, such as a dolphin. If a child calls out “air”, the other child should name an animal that flies, such as a crow. However, if a child yells “fire”, the child who receives the ball should name a fabulous or mythological animal, such as “Serpent Gorynych” or “Dragon”.
ice figures
This game is for kids of all ages. All you need is music. Gather the children in a designated place. Get a CD player or music center ready. Use music appropriate for the age of the children. When the music starts playing, the children start dancing. They must dance all the time the music is playing. When the music stops, they should freeze into dance poses. Which of the children moves or laughs is out of the game. Stop the music for 15-20 seconds, no more. The game will continue until only one child remains. You can give a prize to the winner.

Dancing around the chairs
This game will play like regular musical chairs, but kids need to add dance moves. Before starting the game, be sure to prepare some age-appropriate songs. You will need one less chair than the number of players. Arrange the chairs in a circle. When the music starts, tell the children to dance around the chairs. If they don't dance, but only move, they are automatically out of the game. When you stop the music, the children should try to sit on the chair first. A child who did not have time to take a chair leaves the game. Then you need to remove one chair and play again. When there are two participants left, the one who first takes the remaining chair wins.
Brook
This dance game is also popular with adults. The essence of the game is simple: a lone participant, moving along the corridor formed by dancing couples, must choose a soul mate and stand at the end of the corridor. Left alone, the next participant must choose a partner in the same way. The game is accompanied by cheerful rhythmic music. Participants can slowly move forward.

But you still want to work out with him at home? Your endeavor is commendable. So you will not only demonstrate your interest in the affairs of your child, but also be able to additionally entertain him and occupy him for a while. And games are not only fun, but also very useful. It will be better if you gather the child's friends - after all, playing alone is boring. Ready? Then let's start!

1. "Dancing on chairs." Chairs are arranged in a circle, children sit on them. The leader stands in the center and shows simple dance movements to cheerful rhythmic music. Mainly head, shoulders, arms, back work. This game is not a competition. It can serve as an excellent warm-up before the rest of the dance games. If the children like it, they can get up from the chairs and continue to do the exercises already with the participation of the legs: jumping, stomping, turning.

2. Everyone knows the game with music and chairs. The meaning of the game is that any number of children and chairs are selected - but in such a way that one child does not have enough. Chairs are arranged in a circle, music is turned on, children begin to run around. When the music stops, the children try to take the chair before anyone else. The one who did not have enough chair is out. However, we offer you a modernized version of the game. In it, children should not run, but dance around the chairs. Make sure that no one goes on a run - violators are eliminated!

3. "Frozen figures". This game requires several children - from three to ten, but not too many to make it easier to keep track of everyone. Pick up fun and dynamic children's music and bring a turntable. The essence of the game is that the children dance while the music plays. When she stops - this should happen suddenly - the children take any dance position and freeze. The one who moved, laughed or could not keep his balance is out.

4. "Find a friend." All you need for this game is kids, music and a certain amount of free space. Children dance to a cheerful tune, moving around the site in random order. crossing randomly children greet each other with a nod of the head. The music stops abruptly, and each child must find a "friend" - that is, simply a neighbor - and greet him with a handshake. The one who did not have enough “friend” is out. This game perfectly develops reaction and facilitates socialization, because children, although in the game, learn to get to know each other.

5. "Hat". Participants break into pairs and dance to rhythmic music. The host moves around the hall with a hat and randomly puts it on the head of one of the participants, after which he changes places with him. The child with the hat, in turn, begins to walk around the room and look for someone to change with. The game ends when everyone has been "in the hat". By the way, the hat can be replaced with any item, for example, participants can pass an ordinary bottle to each other.
