Singing is a simple but powerful way to connect, encourage learning, and spark joy.
How Singing Helps:
🌟 Turn Songs into Conversations: Pause during a song to let them fill in the blanks with words or actions. It’s a fun way to boost back-and-forth communication.
🔄 Embrace Repetition: Songs like Wheels on the Bus or Old MacDonald naturally repeat words and actions. This helps children anticipate what’s coming next, improving memory, and understanding.
🎤 Keep Repeating: The more they hear a song, the more familiar they become with the words and melody, strengthening the ability to recall and perform actions.
✨ Get Creative: Don’t feel tied to lyrics! Add a fun twist to familiar tunes or create songs that reflect experiences.
Make Songs Fun!
🎶 Encourage Participation: Let them take the lead or pick the songs. This helps them feel involved and excited!
👐 Add Actions: Use hand gestures, facial expressions, or props to bring the song to life and keep them engaged.
⏰ Build a Routine: Sing during special times, like bedtime or playtime, to create a comforting and fun daily routine.
🎭 Be Expressive: Try funny voices or different singing styles. Your enthusiasm is contagious and makes singing enjoyable!
