So Big
Activity Songs for Little Ones
These easy-to-learn activity songs are designed for preschool
and primary grade learners. They tap children's natural desire to move, sing and make-believe. From a tiny chick curled inside an egg, to the vigorous movements of a galloping pony, a full range of images and movement possibilities are explored through words and music. Children clap, stamp, turn, reach, fall, throw, catch, bend, twist, crawl, walk, hop, run and jump as they develop movement skills, imaginative powers and a deeper understanding of language, math and science concepts. In short the whole
child is involved!
Each song is repeated in an instrumental version. Once children
have learned a song, they can sing along without hearing the words.
The instrumentals have a soft melody line to act as a guide without
overpowering the children’s voices. The instrumentals also provide
opportunities for choice making, problem solving and creativity.
Children choose the things they would like to pretend, make up their
own words and create their own movements. They then sing and move
using their ideas. Ages 2-5
