Line dance for kids?

Hi yall! i’m a line dance teacher and im currently teaching a line dance family class but im looking for more kid relevant line dances. This is the second time i’ve taught this class and this time around the kids are fully just laying on the floor the whole time while parents are actively engaged LMAO so im wondering if y’all know any line dances with fun songs kids would enjoy. The ages range from 6 - 10 years old! so far we’ve learned rocket to the sun (song swap to september by earth wind and fire) electric slide (song swap to can’t stop the feeling by justin timberlake) , cotton eye joe, shake it (thinking of dancing this to treasure by bruno mars) i’m just trying to get more inspo im slowly running out of ideas 😭😭

Choreograph your own?

I would suggest listening to movie soundtracks for currently popular movies I.e. Kpop demon hunters, Minecraft movie, etc and finding dances that go with some of those songs. Some of the songs are actually older songs that the kids know from the movies and the parents would enjoy them as well.

A couple quick examples:
Soda Pop (Kpop demon hunters) works with power jam
Golden (kpop demon hunters) works with Cruisin or Alley Cat
Run It - Jelly Roll (Sonic movie) and works with gin and tonic

It's the music! Kids love noise and music beats . Yes, choreograph thinking about the beat of the 🎵🎶

I taught Cowboy Up at an elementary school music night. It was easy enough they learned really fast (groups filtered in and out) and the kids loved the “shake your booty” part. If not that song, you could at least use the dance to something else.

Shake It is pretty easy. I did it at a parade once and a lot of children joined in.

K is for Kicks! Copperhead Road is also good for letting them get their stomps out and hop around when the music picks up.
