Game 16

Cheek to cheek, or spinning round

The Saturday night dance

The game's question

Read out the question, then let your mum or dad take the floor.

Saturday night at the dance, and two ways to take the floor. The slow dance, cheek to cheek, swaying gently to a soft, slow tune. Or rock ’n’ roll, spinning and jumping, skirts flying out in circles. A hand in yours and the music right through you. Which one did you love dancing to?

  • The slow dance
  • Rock ’n’ roll (your choice – tell the story)
Need a hint?

Hum a few bars of something slow, then tap a quick rock ’n’ roll rhythm: the body often answers first. Then, if they like, ask where the dance was held.

Why this game : Talking about the dances of your youth opens a personal story – the hall, the music and the people who were there.
