How to try it
Sit in a small circle and put on a bouncy song. One child dances in the middle while everyone else claps, then the music pauses and the next child gets a turn. Grown-ups can dance in the middle too.

Safety note
Clear the floor of toys and hard edges, and let any child who does not want a turn simply clap.
