Activities:   
 

Bedtime Lullaby (bonding, rhythm & pitch development – all ages): Sing the song (a cappella or with the CD) to your child at bedtime. 

Rhythm Exercise (rhythm development –ages 3-5): Pat and clap to the beat while singing as a rhythm exercise (a cappella or with the CD). This song is in a 5/8 time signature, which can be tricky. It’s very helpful to young minds to learn alternate rhythms to improve their rhythm development. Pat & clap as follows – count 12345, and pat laps on 1, and clap on 4. If you play the CD, you can use the “water breaks” as a chance to simply pat, clap & listen, or you can count “12345” during those times.
