•6 Lessons
This unit uses the familiar context of daily routines to introduce Reception students to creative movement and basic dance concepts. By connecting movement to their personal experiences - from waking up to going to bed - students develop body awareness and creative expression in a meaningful, relatable way. The 'champion dancers' theme builds confidence while the daily life narrative provides structure that young children can easily understand and engage with.
