Dance in IB PYP Grade 1 Arts
This page collects Dance resources for IB PYP Grade 1 Arts. Learners at this emerging stage work on exploring simple movement to music and learning basic dance steps and shapes.
PYP learning is inquiry-based: children explore ideas through questions, play and real-life examples, so worksheets and games here are designed to be short, clear and encouraging.
What learners practise
- Exploring simple movement to music
- Learning basic dance steps and shapes
For students
Work through the worksheets and interactive activities at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.
For parents
Sit with your child for the first few questions and ask “how do you know?”. Praise effort and keep sessions short.
For teachers
Use dance activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
Study work by artists and performers you admire, then explain in a sentence what you could borrow from their technique.
Quick answers
Who is the Dance page for?
It is for IB PYP Grade 1 Arts learners, typically aged 6–7, and for the parents and teachers who support them.
Are dance resources free?
Many are. Each resource shows a clear Free or price label, so you can start with the free ones and add premium resources when you need more practice.
How should I use these resources?
Pick one resource, complete it without help first, then check and correct. Repeating this little and often is more effective than one long session.
