Hi Bec,
Ideas for a Gruffalo 'dance'::ballet::ballet:
Mouse - 'scurrying' steps to side with hands by nose, sniffing out the nut
Gruffalo - large, heavy movements - possibly, 3 stamping steps with hands on hips and then 'Roar' with clawing hands
Fox - sneaking around the area with swishing tail - either shaking bottom or using streamers behind
Owl - large flapping wings, with arms and fingers outstretched, running around the area, making an appropriate noise!
Snake - own hands linked and perform 'snaky' move by lifting elbows up and down, wriggle hips and move whole body up and down
The mouse and Gruffalo moves could be used repeatedly - like a refrain/chorus - throughout the dance so that it is like a retelling of the story.
If you can't find the Gruffalo music, just use any fun song - maybe 'Monster' by Automatic ("Who's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster...")
