Valentines Day is the perfect time to celebrate love, the language of the heart. Often it is difficult for children to express their emotions in words. This activity, which can be done individually or in a group format, gives them an opportunity to express themselves through movement and understand unity. Use the lyrics of the song "Love In Any Language" by Sandi Patty (words and music can be found on line) for this activity. Note below you will find the chorus of this song with its inspiring message:
Love in any language
Straight from the heart
Pulls us all together
Never apart
And once we learn to speak it
All the world will hear
Love in any language
Fluently spoken here
Some suggestions for moving the chorus of this song are: (You can also select verses of the song for movement)
For group moves form a circle and have all the children move the circle in and out, around both left and right, high and low, make a "wave", etc. For individual moves the children can pantomime the chorus lyrics in movement, sign language, etc.
