Music and movement are a powerful combo for kids. Dancing, jumping, spinning, and moving to rhythm helps build coordination, body awareness, and energy regulation—all while having fun!

✨ Try this:
• Play freeze dance
• Switch between fast and slow songs
• Call out movements like jump, spin, stomp, or tiptoe
• Take turns being the “dance leader”

🧠 OT Tip: Upbeat songs can help kids get their wiggles out, while slower music with gentle movements can help calm the body.

💡 A quick dance break is a great reset before homework, transitions, or bedtime routines!
