In addition to teaching school, I am a YMCA children's dance teacher. I have been using the song "The Sid Shuffle" from Ice Age's the Continental drift as a reward for my dancers for quite sometime. It just occurred to me that this dance craze would be an excellent brain break or indoor recess activity to do at school as well! I would highly recommend checking it out on Youtube and working it into your indoor recess time! It's physically active, but also kid friendly and somewhat organized from a teacher's perspective. Most of all it's fun and appropriate for kids! The dance is similar to electric slide so most of your kids will catch on whether you teach it to them or not! Have fun with it, I know I do!
