Recipe for Fun!

Have the children sit in a circle, and choose one child to be in the middle. Encourage the child to dance out the moves as you sing, using their name: “Izzy’s in the middle, Izzy’s in the middle, Dance Izzy, Dance! Get up, down, turn around.” (Here have the child pick a new friend to be in the middle of the circle.) “Now Jacob’s in the middle!...” Repeat until all of the children have had a turn.
