YOUNGSTERS attempted to sing and dance their way to a world record with a continental twist.

Children at Kings Kids Christian School in New Cross joined a nationwide attempt to break the record for the largest ever game of heads, shoulders, knees and toes.

Thirty-three children took part, performing the dance and singing the words in French for five minutes.

The performance also helped the school raise money for the I Can youth communication charity.

Teacher Iva Batusic said: “I encouraged all my pupils, who learn with me every week, to take part in the challenge.”

They will find out if the record was broken later this month.
