Dance Me a Story™- Yertle the Turtle

Bring Dr. Seuss's Yertle the Turtle to life with Dance to Learn® Yertle the Turtle Creative Dance Lesson Plan! This engaging Creative Dance Dance EdVenture™ takes young dancers ages 3-5 on an interactive Dance journey through movement, rhythm, and storytelling.

Dancers will develop essential gross motor skills, coordination, and creative expression as they explore playful activities inspired by the classic tale. The adventure begins with a Dance Me a Story™ Warm Up which retells the story through fun interactive body and brain warm up exercises and stretches. Next a fun"Turtle Stack Game", a bean bag balance game that introduces the dance concept of Body Parts while challenging balance and control. Next, they’ll navigate two Story Dance Pathway™ Obstacle Courses, exploring the Dance Concept Levels as the dancers explore the moon high and the sky and again when the turtles fall after Mack burps. Dancers get to continue the learning at home with a Dance to Learn® at Home Dance and Color page from the Cat in the Hat!

Throughout the lesson, dancers will discover developmentally appropriate dance skills, and foundational movement exercises, all while immersing themselves in the fun and whimsical world of Dr. Seuss. Perfect for preschool dance classes, this thematic, movement-rich lesson keeps kids engaged while fostering a love for dance, literacy, and creative expression!
