Give each child a piece of unfolded newspaper to be his/her individual dance floor. As you play music, the children dance freestyle on their dance floors. At some point, stop the music and have the children fold their papers in half. Now their space is smaller. Repeat one more time. Discuss with the children how to be respectful of other children's space when sitting together. This could be done in large group.
