I hope you liked my ideas on how to use interpretative dance in the classroom – if you and your students come up with more inspirations, please share them with me. Bonus idea? Try to sing the new song along! Ya like to (move it) Woman ya cute and you don't need no make-up. This is the longer version which is very rare on Youtube. When you listen to the song for the first time, you’ll probably get some words oh, so wrong – but stick to them! Write them down and try to make a completely new song with them. This is I Like To Move It from Madagascar (This song is also in Madagascar 2, & 3, & probably 4) although Will.i.Am sings it instead). If your students like this activity and are quite creative, why not encourage them to create their own “code” and act it out before the whole class? To make it easier, divide your class into groups and each group may come up with a different song – of course the song has to be kept secret, so the rest of the class will have to guess it together! It’s a completely new song! Then try to apply them to another song – it will be easier to guess it now! Make your own “code” – and show it Translation of I like to move it in Spanish Me gusta moverlo, moverlo Me gusta moverlo, moverlo Me gusta moverlo, moverlo Me gusta moverlo, moverlo Me. less stressful when you choose to work with I Like To Move It Move It the Moving Company. Watch a chosen song with your students and try to identify all the words. Once we guess the song, we can easily observe that the gestures are not random – some base on metaphors, others on puns etc. You may do this as a group activity to encourage competitiveness or simply ask for answers whenever someone is ready to guess. Just show the video (make sure not to show the title) and ask your students to guess the song. The most obvious activity that may work well with adults, as I don’t think many youngsters will know all the songs (you may find more songs here).
So, naturally, here I am with some ideas that you can use to make your classes a bit more festive. The curse (or the blessing) of a creative teacher is when you see such material you know it’s literally ready to wrap it up in some more or less educational principles and you’re ready to go with a lesson.
