When I Am Older by Josh Gad (KIDS)

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: Set the frame that this song is from the movie Frozen 2, where the little magic snowman – Olaf – walks around the woods. Most kids know the movie and can relate to the cute Olaf.
Focus: External, explore, express playfulness and theatrical moves
Purpose: Playtime, imagination, sound play, reaction time in the body
First move: Swing arms (like in a waltz) – the legs will follow as they want
Second move: React on the different sounds in the music.
Show the expression in the whole body, even in your face.
Third move: Step kick with or without a friend – add jazz hands
