Music and Dancing

Music and Movement has been a fast growing interest within the Phoenix House.
Two games in particular that are consistently popular with the children are  Musical Statues and Musical chairs.

These games encourage children to move to the beat of the music as well as listening carefully to when the music stops. They gain a great amount of enjoyment and delight from dancing and having the opportunity to play and compete with their peers in a safe and friendly environment.

With social games such as these it allows children to respect rules and learn to follow and enforce them to their peers. It also keeps the game fair and predictable.

Social games also foster appropriate social behaviour even when things don't go their way.

We will continue to extend and foster this interest through a variety of different games and activities for the children to participate in.
