Havant family create hilarious fluorescent lights video to cheer people up
A HAVANT family have made a glow stick dancing video to help cheer people up during the coronavirus lockdown.
Nikki Hayes, 36, decided to make the video of her children decked out in fluorescent stripes to help keep them entertained after schools closed to reduce the spread of the dangerous disease.
Her three children, Rosie Hayes, 17, along with sister Ruby ,13, and brother Logan, 11, attached glow sticks to their hoodies to create fluorescent skeletal silhouette’s which can be seen performing a choreographed routine in a blacked out background.
Nikki, who is a care worker at a residential care home on Hayling Island, said: ‘We wanted to find new, fun ideas to help keep the children entertained and so I ordered 90 glow sticks off Amazon for £6.97.
‘The children used hoodies and dressing gowns to attach the glow sticks using cello tape.’
The video has been posted on Nikki’s Facebook page to cheer up other users. It’s one of a wide range of social media videos currently being uploaded by families looking to support each other during the coronavirus crisis.
Recent examples have included children baking rainbow cakes, virtual Easter bonnet parades and musical medleys being played to neighbours from residents rooftops.
Nikki commented: ‘Keeping everyone happy and entertained is even more important now than ever before during these unprecedented times.’
