Shake, Shake, Shake Your Sillies Out

Last Friday we got a dancing lessons from some of our students at Healing Family Foundation. As we had so much fun listening to old Michael Jackson songs and teaching each other crazy moves we thought it would be best to continue with the music and dance topic. At the beginning of our lessons we usually sing songs like "Hello, Hello, Hellooooo How Are You," and "Chilli Chilli," but our students are willing and capable of constantly learning new things so we started the workshop with new songs and music games.

We started the Lesson with the Hokey Pokey:

You put your right hand in …

You put your left foot in …

...and you shake it all about...

That what it's all about!

Now that we were all in harmony and just a bit out of breath, we continued with:
"Shake, shake, shake your sillies out... clap, clap, clap your crazies out..."

And of course we couldn't leave out Musical Chairs. But we preferred the less violent version of the game and used numbers instead of chairs. 

A fluffy new friend wanted to play the game, too, but he didn't quite understand the rules!

Inspired by the music and the movements we started the art workshop. 

The ARI-Team prepared plenty different stencils made out of contact paper on the topic of Music and Dance. Our students could arrange their favorite stencils creating unique compositions.

Following the mood and the tempo of the music they painted over their images but the contact paper resisted the paint   and remained white.

We also gave the students the opportunity to spray the colours and create varied and unique artworks.

 

The workshop was a lot of fun and the artworks were just amazing. Here are some examples:

I´m looking forward to see you next time!
