As the children become more and more comfortable in the Kindermusik setting, I find that they are able to contribute more and more to our class experience. One of the many benefits of Kindermusik is that in a small class, your child is able to offer ideas upon which activities may be built and developed. Today, Hey Lolly (a silly song!) became even funnier as the children offered their own silly words to insert. We sang and laughed to “Hey boingy…Hey silly…”and of course “Hey tooty.” They also did a great job of playing their resonator bars to a steady beat while we sang.
Also, the children had a great time today driving their “cars.” Imagination abounds at this age and, when given the opportunity, the preschooler always amazes me with the many details of his own story! My paper plate is a steering wheel, or a car seat. Some sat to drive while others ran. And listening to and picking out the different timbres in “Traffic jam” helps develop skills needed for coding, sorting and categorizing sounds, which is a skill necessary for reading.
