Did you know skills for finger play and movement imitation songs in preschool lead to foundational skills for handwriting, typing, playing an instrument, coordinating extremities and body awareness for sports, completing crafts/hobbies and the list goes on and on!
We have used the same beat and tune throughout the school year but have changed the words and movements with each season (summer, fall, winter, spring). The kids have absolutely loved it and by the end of the season are able to imitate each motion! Their confidence has built by keeping it simple and using a familiar tune. By repeating familiar moves it has given each child a chance to master those moves and then try ones that are more difficult with the changing seasons. If anyone has lyric ideas for spring send them my way! ☔️ 🌼
