Mixed Up is a vibrant, interactive playground experience for 3 – 8-year-olds exploring a mix of emotions and feelings through painting, music, and dance.
Starcatchers has a range of resources to complement Mixed Up, which are available on this page.
Once you've watched the film, go outside and play musical statues as a way to start exploring the different moves you saw in the film. Use the Mixed Up music if you can!
Watch Bigg Taj in the film and see if you can learn his body percussion together. If you make a mistake, growth mindset phrases like "I love how hard you're working!" help build resilience.
Take turns being each other's mirror - one person creates some of the dance moves or body percussion from the film, the other person copies them as closely as possible.
Watch the film and talk about the graphics that appear, creating abstract shapes. Now use your finger to trace around the shapes you see.
In the film, we see lines drawn around people's bodies and added lines, squiggles and other shapes. Use chalk to draw around bodies lying down, or around shadows, to make your own.
