Instructions

The person leading the activity should explain that everyone will be making (and decorating) their own shaker.
Everyone should spend a few minutes decorating their cardboard tube.
Once people finish decorating their tube, they should cover one end with some paper and use some sticky tape to hold the paper in place. They should put a handful of dried beans, peas, or rice in their tube, then cover the other end in paper and use sticky tape to hold it in place.
An adult may need to help with this – covering the ends of the tubes in paper is especially fiddly.
When everyone has finished, they should sit in a circle with their shakers.
The people leading the activity should put the chairs and tables away so there’s plenty of space for everyone to dance.
Let’s dance!
Everyone should chat about why dancing is a great thing to do.
Think about how it keeps you active, it’s fun, and it makes you feel good.
The person leading the activity should put some music on. Everyone should play their music shakers and dance around the space.
Make sure the music is suitable for the young people and that there’s enough space to move around. You could start with an action song – it’ll get everyone moving as they have fun following the actions.
The person leading the activity should give everyone the chance to showcase their dance moves if they want to. Some people might want to teach the rest of the group a dance move.
When everyone’s finished dancing, they should chat about how dancing and playing music made them feel.
