Guest ChunkyMan Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I have started it with a group of boys who's pencil control is very poor still. They love it and it is such an easy intervention as it only lasts as long as the song. We call ours Happy Hands and do it to Pharrell William's 'Happy' song. Can't say impact yet as quite new.

NettyNoodles Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I use dough disco in Reception as part of fine motor skills workshop. Groups have differentiated activities according to need but all children LOVE dough disco - and I have to say so do I! We have great fun and the children also access and recreate as part of continuous provision. Handwriting this year has been much improved - dough disco has played a part but we also do more formal 'writing' activities too. I haven't heard of pizza massage - how does it work?

Guest Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 We do disco dough too and all the children enjoy it as do I. Its great fun and it has improved their fine motor skills especially the ones who have struggled with writing. I haven't heard of pizza massage either but it sounds interesting!

Stargrower Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Only in Early Years would we use the terms 'dough disco' and 'pizza massage' and still be considered sane! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 pizza massage is a form of peer massage where the children with permission from the child that is receiving it massage each other with pizza moves like rolling out the dough, putting on cheese and mushrooms etc it is good fun and increases motivation and concentration.

Guest Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm not so sure I would be considered sane Stargrower haha. Pizza massage sounds interesting has anyone tried it? Would love to find out more! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm yet to experience dough disco but Shonette Bason is coming to our early years conference so fingers crossed her workshop is the one I get to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargrower Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 There's a book called Pete's a Pizza that our children love. Pete's dad makes him into a pizza and killowengirl's description of pizza massage reminded me of it. It's great fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 OMG Pizza massage sounds like a game I made up when I was 13 and my sister was 3. I used to pretend to make her into a sandwich "you're the bread, lay down now here comes the butter (spreading action up and down her body), here's the ham "splat splat" whilst sort of pushing it down on her (a bit harder than required sometimes ) and then the ... etc etc. She LOVED it, never thought to do this with the children at work ... hmmmmm.
