Music

The perfect book to introduce rhythm instruments to young children! Children make the sound of the ocean waves using shakers, pretend to be a train using sand blocks, create a rainstorm with rhythm sticks, and perform circus tricks with jingle bells. Plus, they learn to play the instruments along with their favorite songs. 101 Rhythm Instrument Activities is perfect for parents, early childhood teachers, and music teachers who work with toddlers through age 6.

Here's a collection of rhythmic activities. Some children thrive when they can combine different styles of learning; rhythmic activities using a manipulative, plus music and movement may be just right for these kids. This is a sampling of eight Georgiana Stewart classroom resources for fun-filled learning.

Help children develop gross motor skills, increase balance, enhance directionality and right/left discrimination. Individual and group activities challenge kids while having fun. Guide with lyrics and instructions.

12 great songs from the 50s and 60s and clever activities help kids learn concepts such as body identification and directionality (high/low, right/left, up/down). Routines promote coordination, team work and following directions.

Build a musical bridge for children to welcome, understand, and appreciate the similarities and the differences between their lives and others. A child's view of the world is shaped by his or her life experiences and cultural roots. Learning about the lives of others broadens and enriches their view.  Unique songs and rhythms help kids to reflect and be open to acceptance, cultural sensitivity, and respect as they enjoy diverse sounds and ideas.

17 original and popular children's songs teach a variety of concepts in a fun way that will promote learning. Keep this musical resource handy for circle and transition times.
