Rygbi Learning Pack

THROW DOWN COLOURS

Suggested Age: 4+
Duration: 10 min+
Group size: 1+

Using any kind of coloured object (for example paper spots, cushions or even toys), cover the floor so that you have a range of colours and objects evenly spread. You can turn the task into a colour treasure hunt challenge if you want at home! Once you have collected your objects call out a sequence of colours which your dancer must go to tap in the correct order.

This activity helps to:

• Warm up the body
• Learn and remember patterns
• Find creative ways to move
• Explore the space and different pathways

MAKE THE IMAGE

Suggested Age 5+
Duration 10 min+
Group size 1+
Dance Task

Using your body, recreate an image in a set time and freeze in the shape. You can use an actual picture or an object in the home, or you could give an example shape or image.

Or select some words that you think would make an exciting physical image. You could create some cards with the words on and add an image at the end to support literacy learning. Ask the dancers to choose an image from the pack. You could even put the words into a bag and select them  ‘Lucky Dip’ style. The dancers then guess what shape is being made!

This activity helps to:

• Build teamwork skills
• Find creative ways to use the body
• Develop focus
• Writing
• Drawing
• Motor Skills

RUGBY DANCE

Suggested Age 4+
Duration 10 min+
Group size 1+

Think about the shapes from rugby that you see on the pitch. It could be the shapes the players make – when they score a try, make a tackle, or it could be other shapes you see around the stadium, the ball, the posts or even the stadium itself.

Choose four that you think look fun and exciting. Having some shapes that are up high and some that are down on the ground will give your dance variety!

This activity helps to:

·         Developing memory and sequencing

·         Find creative ways to use the body

·         Develop focus

·         Writing

·         Drawing

·         Motor Skills
