(Unit 2) Topic 7: Music and Movement

2 Clock Hours of Early Childhood Education

Lesson Plan: Activity Songs

​Topic 7 Page 19

Activity Songs

Age Group: 
  • Infants
  • Toddlers
Objectives:
  • To increase creative development; to increase language and communication skills
CDA Competency Standard:  
​III.7.2a
  • Activities and materials encourage children to dance, move and develop their musical abilities.
a. Music and dance/movement materials and activities are available for children daily
Materials: 
  • None
Procedure: 
  1. Talk to children about what they do during the day. Tell them that you are going to make up a song about what they do. Encourage them to decide on motions to go with the words. If this is taking a long time, suggest appropriate movements to go with the verse. Try to get several related concepts. For toddlers, ask them what they do in the morning or what they do when they get up. Have a sequence that will work in your mind before you start and only do as many verses as there is interest. Sing to the tune of “Here we go round the mulberry bush.”
This is the way we wash our hands, wash our hands, wash our hands.
This is the way we wash our hand so early in the morning.

Morning
Get out of bed
Wash our hands
Brush our teeth
Comb our hair
Put on our clothes
Eat our breakfast
Come to school
Sweep the floors
Vacuum the rugs
Make our beds
Wipe the table
Another variation is to ask mobile infants what they like to do and incorporate their name into the song.
This is the way Claudia plays with the ball, plays with the ball, plays with the ball.
This is the way Claudia plays with the ball, and plays with all her friends.
Extension:
​
Mobile infants begin to sing by “tagging on” that is, at the end of the songs they copy what they hear sung. They just lag a bit. Hearing more complex language and music develops more sophisticated language skills. Music uses many senses simultaneously, it makes mobile infants brains “light up” in many different areas. These growing neural net- works become the foundation of learning in many areas such as math and language. Whether or not children participate accurately is not as relevant as if they participate actively and with purpose. Ensure that you include the music and words that reflect the culture of the children in the class.​
Assessment: 
  • The mobile infant will participate in some of the motions with adult support. Record an observational assessment.

    The correct answer is:


The answer for the question on the previous page has been provided below.

  a. Talking with the child supports language development.


Early language and communication skills are crucial for children’s success in school and beyond. Language and communication skills include the ability to understand others (i.e., receptive language) and express oneself (i.e., expressive language) using words, gestures, or facial expressions.  During the first years of life, children’s brains are developing rapidly and laying the foundation for learning. The interactions that children have with adults influence how children develop and learn.
