While the hokey pokey is great children's song/dance and teaches all about left vs right. It is HARD to do with visually impaired children.
With other kids you can demonstrate "put your right hand in..." and put your own right hand in and they can follow your direction.
Instead you really need 1 adult for every 2 children so you can use each of your hands to show them which limb goes in for them to shake all about.
What is even harder than that however is that these are young children, who are rambunctious and very very zealous about their "shaking it all about" and well, they can't see.
I really enjoyed when sweet "J" shook her right arm all about right into my nose as I bent down to help her! :)
We also had an unfortunate "head on collision" as two little ones where putting there "heads in".
I wonder who will teach Dmitriy to dance.
