[Special Dance Video!] “Sansan Taiso” Dance Video featuring Kyoko Fukada and Hiroya Yamazaki ★ Movie: “Go! Anpanman: Fluffy Fuwari and the Country of Clouds”

Anpanman’s exercise number, “Sansan Taiso.” Since it’s part of the Anpanman series, which is hugely popular with young children, it’s easy to get into.

It starts with a marching rhythm—one, two, three—and lets kids have fun moving their bodies: waving their hands, stretching to the side, and twirling their arms.

Encourage them with phrases like, “Let’s move our bodies full of energy like Anpanman!” and “Spread your hands wide,” and lead the routine with big, dynamic actions to keep it lively.
