How to play
Put on three fast songs the big kid picks.
The big kid dances in front of the baby, as silly as possible.
Bounce the baby on your knee or help them stand and sway.
Between songs, freeze. Whoever moves first has to do a funny dance.
What it helps with
Keep it safe
- Give the big kid a clear dance zone so nobody lands on the baby.
Make it different next time
- The big kid teaches the baby one move per song: clap, wave, stomp.
- Turn the lights down and spin a flashlight across the ceiling.
Cleanup: None.
