The post My Many Colored Dance Literacy Kit with Music and Scarves appeared first on Bear Paw Creek.

These brightly colored chiffon scarves provide visual and kinesthetic reinforcement as they move through space with beautiful and flowing movement. They reinforce concepts of shape, size, colors, and space. They allow for active participation and hands on learning. Creative movement chiffon scarves allow exploration of musical phrase, melodic direction and mood. They are an open-ended tool of infinite possibility, limited only by the user.

Ideas and Inspiration for Chiffon Scarves:

• Dance to the music, using the flowing scarf movement to interpret it
• Use for costumes.
• Use for puppet show scenery.
• Use as a play surface: blue=water, white=snow, green=grass, etc.
• Dress up stuffed animal or doll.
• Learn to juggle.
• Twist to learn how to braid.
• Cover a table for a tea party.
• Write letters, numbers, and shapes in the air with the scarves.
• Name the colors of the scarves.Learn how to fold and put them away.
• For movement, especially for music with long, flowing phrases.
• To create a visual representation of a mood in non-metered poetry.
• Dance, play, smile, imagine, and enjoy the scarves and each other.
