Synopsis

This lively and imaginative book is being used in homes and schools in over 13 countries to help children learn about music and sound while they develop the ability to listen, concentrate, be creative, improvise, and trust one another.

Using audiocassettes or CDs, of popular songs and simple instruments children and adults get to play listening games, concentration games, musical quizzes, trust games, guessing games, and more. The games are not competitive- they encourage and reward children for participation, not for winning.

The SmartFunActivity series encourage imagination, social interaction, and self-expression in children. To make the books easy to use, games are marked according to appropriate age levels, length of play time, and group size, using helpful icons. Most games are non-competitive and none require special skills or training. The series is widely used in homes, schools, daycare centers, clubs, and summer camps.

About this title

From the Publisher:

For ages 4 and up
Music is wonderful for bringing out creativity and encouraging learning in kids. They love to sing and dance, and they love it when adults sing and dance along with them. Appropriate for families, teachers, day care providers, and camp leaders, this book presents lively music games that children and adults can play together.

Using popular songs, easy rhythms, and musical recordings, the games in this book help children develop creative, personal, and social skills. They also learn about music and sound. The games are not competitive - they encourage and reward children for participating, not for winning.

All you need to play the 101 music games are music tapes or CDs and simple instruments, many of which can be made from common household items. Age levels are suggested for each game ranging from four years old to teens and up. Many games are especially good for large group settings such as birthday parties and day care. Others are easily adapted to meet classroom needs.
