A. In Denmark, the children sing Incy Wincy Spider but in their own language called Danish. They call the rhyme Lille Peter Edderkop. Would you like to listen to it?
The first and last verses are the same as our song in English, but the middle verse is all about Peter spinning a web and his mum telling him to catch flies but instead he plays on a swing! Why don’t you watch it again and copy Pospsi and Krelle’s actions? Do any of the words sound familiar?
Bollywood – Listen to the music. Look at their arms and legs. Can you try some moves yourself?
Belly dancing – Which part of the body mainly moves? Have you tried this yourself?
Hip Hop/street dance – Pick your own song and try make your own dance! Did you use any cool props like a cap or sunglasses?
Irish dancing – Do you recognise any of the instruments played when they dance? Look closely at their hands and their feet. What do you notice?
Scottish/ Highland dancing – Do you know the names of the instruments used through Scottish/highland dancing? What special material/textile do people sometimes wear when doing Scottish dancing? Have a try yourself!
C. Listen to these different pieces of music. Which instruments do you hear? What is the music like? Fast? Slow? How does it make you feel? Now – dance!
D. Try to move and control different parts of your body with these ‘around the world’ exercise ideas.

Your parents or grandparents may know some of these dances, music or languages. Or perhaps they know some others. Maybe you do too because they are part of your family’s culture and traditions. Just like every person, every family is unique and special.
Why don’t you talk about the really special and important things in your family? After that you could draw or write about them in an interesting way. This is a chance to practise your drawing skills – focus on lines and shapes – or to think about letter sounds and formation as you write family members’ names. Here are some ideas:
