Course Description
This two-day workshop offers a comprehensive introduction to creative music, rhythm, and movement practices designed specifically for early childhood and primary educators. Through the Body to Game approach, participants will explore engaging strategies that combine body percussion, rhythmic games, creative movement, coordination circles, Orff-based activities, and playful learning techniques that support children’s musical, cognitive, social, and motor development. It also focuses on practical, classroom-ready activities that teachers can immediately implement. Participants will learn how to design interactive lessons, use rhythm and movement to support attention and classroom management, structure group activities, and create inclusive learning environments. Throughout the training, educators will experience hands-on sessions, collaborative exercises, and reflective discussions that highlight how music and movement can enrich creativity, communication, and emotional expression in children. By the end of the program, teachers will leave with a strong toolkit of activities, music materials, and teaching strategies to enhance their daily practice and inspire joyful learning in their classrooms.
