Make Up Your Own Song or Rhyme: Weekend Tip

7:10 pm Weekend Tips

Your preschooler will love making up his own songs by changing the words of his favorite songs or rhymes - Old McDonald, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, the ABC Song, Mary had a Little Lamb etc.

This weekend (or whenever you’re in the need to bust those boredom blues), sing songs while substituting words forher own experiences. For instance, “Old McDonald had a farm” could become”Old McDonald went to the mall” if you’re on your way to the mall. Follow up with all the things she’s likely to see at the mall. This is great for singing in the car on the way there.

Or when she’s having her snack, sing “Mary had a little lamb” to the words “(Child’s name) had a little (snack or fruit). Great activity for boosting preschool vocabulary and strengthening language skills! Also, terrific as a music activity to build appreciation for song!

Enjoy!
