Since Star Wars has recently come out with a new addition to the saga I decided that it would be a perfect time to incorporate glow sticks as "Light Sabers" into our dance lesson!
We used small glow sticks and turned out the lights to make it even cooler! My Kindergarten Academy students danced along with the powerful Star Wars music and performed sharp movements. I then changed it to a slower more steady Star Wars song or asked them to move slower and create smooth movements with their "Light Saber."
When we finished our activity we discussed which movements we liked better between either smooth or sharp. The students got to demonstrate a smooth or sharp movement to the class.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!
