Chooses a song to share with an adult Laminated song symbols on a velcro strip | 1. Sit opposite the child at the same height and make sure you have their attention 2. Start off offering the child a choice of two song symbols. Help the child choose a song if needed and then sing the song with lots of oomph! 3. Offer the child a choice of the song symbols again and repeat the process. 4. Repeat until you have an idea of the songs the child specially likes. 5. When you sing one of these songs stop before a main word e.g. sing 'Twinkle twinkle little .............' And wait. Will the child put in the word star? If they do, smile and continue. 6. Allow more and more gaps in the songs for the child to sing the words | This is a fun activity. Make sure you and the child enjoy it! Use lots of expression and body language and mime to support the meanings of the songs. Allow the child enough time to make choices - only give help if they are loosing focus on the activity. |
