Rainy day? Too cold to head outside? Bring the fun indoors!

If you’re looking for indoor recess ideas for elementary students, music can turn the classroom into a space for kids to move, play, and have fun.

Here are a few easy ways to use KIDZ BOP during your next indoor recess!

Have a Classroom Dance Party 🕺

Clear a little space, turn on KIDZ BOP, and let students dance to their favorite songs.

For even more fun, let students take turns choosing songs or showing the class their favorite dance moves.

Play Freeze Dance 🧊

Press play and get everyone moving. When you pause the music, everyone has to freeze!

Start it back up and keep playing for an easy indoor classroom game with almost no prep.

Create a Dance 🎶

Split students into small groups and give them part of a song to create their own simple dance.

When they’re ready, groups can teach their moves to the rest of the class!

Play Follow the Leader

Choose one student to lead a movement or dance move while everyone follows along. Keep switching leaders throughout the song so lots of students get a turn.

Take a Movement Break

Indoor recess doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes turning on a few songs and giving kids the chance to move is all you need!

Save these ideas for the next rainy day when you’re searching for indoor recess activities, classroom games, movement activities for kids, or no-prep indoor activities for elementary students.

Turn up KIDZ BOP and bring recess inside! 🎉
