I was excited to find this picture book at the library today – full of playful action words to use with preschool, kindergarten, and first grade dancers.
"Mighty Tyrannosaurus loved stomp, stomp, stomping, gigantic legs striding, enormous jaws opening…."
The book explores 11 different dinosaurs and a wonderful list of action words, including:
- Stomping
- Swishing
- Gliding
- Swooping
- Soaring
- Hunting
- Pouncing
- Zooming
Dance artists can use the book in a variety of ways to inspire improvisational activities, a "dino dance," or little vignettes about each animal in small groups.
Get your own copy of Margaret Mayo's Stomp, Dinosaur, Stomp for only $10 at Powell's Books.
