Participants are divided into groups of three. Each group first agrees on one activity they want to mime or dance, for example, washing dishes, cleaning windows, surfing, playing football, etc.
The adult then plays three different melodies, each expressing a specific mood or emotion. Now the groups will figure out how the chosen activity can be danced to suit and reflect the mood or emotion expressed by the music.
When the participants have finished working on all three songs, the groups show their dances to each other.
