For parents and teachers

For grown-ups

Jam Map is a free freeze-dance game for kids 3 to 7. Each episode runs about 7 minutes (or 4 in Quick mode). The freezes land at different times on every play, so kids can't memorize it.

Getting set up

Clear some floor space. Arms-out-wide room for each dancer. Bare feet or sneakers are safer than socks on smooth floors.
Turn the sound up. The music stopping is the cue to freeze.
Make it big. Cast the tab to a TV, use AirPlay, or plug in a laptop. Press F for fullscreen.
Pick a length. Full is about 7 minutes. Quick is about 4.
Voice on or off. With voice off, read the captions yourself and be the host.

Handy controls

Space pauses and resumes.
→ skips to the next part.
F goes fullscreen.
H hides the buttons.
Switching tabs pauses the game automatically.
On a phone or tablet, use "Add to Home Screen." After the first visit it also works offline.

What kids practice

Listening and stopping on cue. Freezing when the music stops, and ignoring bubble tricks when it doesn't.
Balance. One-foot freezes held for a five-count.
Left and right. Captain Crab's red and blue claws turn sides into colors.
Following a sequence. The Reef Routine strings all the moves together.
Calming down. Every episode ends slow, with three bubble breaths.

In the classroom

Works as a brain break on a projector or smartboard. No logins, no student accounts.
Quick mode fits a four-minute transition.
Spins are slow on purpose. Remind the class to keep arms-length apart.
Every replay is different, so it holds up to repeat plays.

Our no-data promise

Jam Map doesn't collect personal information from anyone, kids or grown-ups. There are no accounts, no forms, no ads, no cookies and no tracking. The only thing it remembers is your voice and length setting, saved on your own device. Read the privacy page.
