Introduction:
In this activity, everybody needs to be standing up with enough space for movement and with a good view of the facilitator (preferably someone with a good voice).
The dances:
1. Funky Chicken
Right after you shout “Let me see your funky chicken!”, you start turning on the spot (doing a 360°) to the left dancing like a chicken (with arms like wings doing the flying movement), while shouting: “Fuuunky chicken, fu-funky chicken, hey!”. On the “Hey!” you simultaneously do a clap. Then you repeat the same while turning on the spot to the right.
2. Cappuccino
Right after you shout “Let me see your cappuccino!”, you turn on the spot to the left dancing like you are drinking a cappuccino (with your right hand doing the “telephone” sign and going up and down), while shouting: “Caaappuccino, ca-cappuccino, hey!”. The same to the right (with your left hand). Don’t forget the clap.
3. Ballerina
Right after you shout “Let me see your ballerina!”, you first put the right index finger on your head and turn like a ballerina (to the left), then your left index finger (and turn to the right), while shouting: “Baaallerina, ba-ballerina, hey!”.
4. Michael Jordan
Right after you shout “Let me see your Michael Jordan!”, you start dribbling the ball on the spot with your right hand under your left leg, then with your left hand under your right leg, while shouting: “Miiichael Jordan, Mi-Michael Jordan, hey!”. You don’t turn.
5. Michael Jackson
Right after you shout “Let me see your Michael Jackson!”, you do the moonwalk in one direction, then in the opposite one, while shouting “Miiichael Jackson, Mi-Michael Jackson, hey!”. You can add arm movement, as well. You don’t turn.
The energizer goes like this:
