Dancin' at School: the Belgian version of Hokey Pokey

I parked at the school a couple of Fridays ago to pick up the boys. All the kids in the school were out on the playground with music playing and everyone was pacticipating in the moves for the songs. The first song I heard when I got there was something in dutch, with certain movements (like sleeping, waking up, brushing teeth, running, swimming, skiing....) like all the things you do in a day. The Hokey Pokey was next, first the Belgian version and then the English one. It was very fun to see the kids not quite sure which arm or leg to put in (right or left) when the English one was on. Then there was another English song with dance steps called out (The Cha Cha Slide). The kids cha-cha'd, jumped, stomped and did the slide for that one. It was so fun to see all the kids laughing, dancing and enjoying the dance time with their teachers joining along.
