Rhymes are a source of developing literacy and phonic skills, as they offer the ability to read and determine letter sounds. Nursery rhymes are particularly important during the early years. They help children to develop their communication skills in a simple and fun way. Children can build their rhythmic proficiency whilst learning new vocabulary, language, and speech skills. These are amazing. I have used them with 2 to 10 years olds and they all like them. Better still they want to use them to retell Bible stories... Fantastic resource and worth every penny.” I recommend arriving with the same 15 items for a few sessions, so that the children learn how it works. Once they’re confident with the process, you can start to swap new items in to keep the song session fresh. I would only add 2 or 3 new toys at a time, though, so that the children aren’t overwhelmed. They’ll also have their favourites that they’ll miss if they don’t appear! Ours were The Wheels on the Bus and Sleeping Bunnies. The children wanted these every week!
A beautiful set of finger puppets, ideal for using with the nursery rhyme 'Down in the Jungle'. Features an elephant, crocodile, gorilla and snake character for each part of the song! There are many resources and props around that practitioners can use, but don’t forget there are also simple things that you can use that costs very little but very effective. Having song time in your routine is very important for many reasons, one being to help support children’s communication, language and literacy development and two, a great way to introduce quality teaching and learning opportunities for all children. Here are a few suggestions of what resources you can introduce into your song time;Introducing the 'Move with Me' Bag! All the objects in this special bag link to songs that are fantastic to dance along with and are perfect to encourage children (and parents) to focus on the movements rather than singing. It features all-new songs, so if you have both the original and expansion 'Sing with Me' Bags there is no overlap of songs or objects meaning they can all be used together! So what are you waiting for? It's time to get your toddlers and adults stomping around the room to the 'Ants Go Marching One by One' song or stretching to 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes'! This signature Song Bag, with its minimalistic design, plays on form and function. Removable straps and compartments enable you to adjust to different carrying modes for the purse. The medium size of Song Bag is a modern expression for your work life and travel adventures.
These busy bag resources are particularly useful when working with children who learn best through sensory activities. It is also a great way of helping children to remain engaged and on task! The leader would have the ‘Move with Me’ Bag on camera and ready loaded with the objects and start rustling their hand around inside, each child takes a turn in shouting stop and whatever object is in the leader’s hand is the next song! Five little monkeys swinging from a tree teasing mr crocodile. Use the elasticated material, 5 soft monkeys and a hand puppet crocodile to help retell the song.Please note, this item and the objects inside are not toys and children must be supervised at all times." The children can each have a butterfly at the start of the story and as their colour is mentioned in our ‘Easter Butterfly Poem’ the child can take their turn in making the butterfly dance and fly! As the poem continues, the children can keep on joining in, gradually building up the number of butterflies to a big finale with a rainbow of colour! Most of the resources suggested in the list above cost very little but will be very effective during your song time. As we know children have favourite songs that they like to sing during song time. However do you ever find yourself singing the same songs? Here are a few songs to add to your song time.
