Teach Music with Sing-Along and Animal Toys
Help your child learn about tempo as you keep time with their favorite stuffed animal toys. Tempo is the speed at which a song is sung or played. It helps set a mood. Your kid will learn to appreciate that slow songs can make you feel calm and peaceful, while fast songs can help energize your spirits.
Here is a fun-filled activity that you will surely enjoy with your kid and help you teach the subject.
1. Ask your child to select a stuffed animal for each of you. Then find an area to sit down and cradle your toy. Suggest to your youngster that it’s time to wake up our sleeping friends by singing to them. Explain that singing a slow, gentle song such as “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” is a proper way to wake up our pets as it won’t startle them. We don’t want them to be grumpy when they wake up.
2. Instruct your child to slowly sway and move to the music as she sings the words. Then tell your child, “They’re waking up! The animals are waking up!”
3. Next, ask your kid to sing a faster “up-tempo” song. ”Bingo” is a fun one, or you may still use “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and just pick up the pace. Do more songs with different speeds and let your child decide what her stuffed animal wants to do with the music – a rabbit may want to hop, skip and jump; a parrot may wish to flap its wings, a purple dinosaur may stomp its feet or a dog may like to wag its tail.
It’s fun to sing songs with your young ones at a slow pace, then a fast pace. And let them decide how they want to move to the music with their animal pals.
