Parent Tip: A good way for a child to learn how to spell his/her own name
Song: "Bingo" (Wee Sing Children's Songs and Fingerplays, Wee Sing The Best of Wee Sing)
• Substitute mommy or daddy for "farmer." Substitute boy or girl for "dog."
• Instead of "Bingo," substitute your child's name and spell it in rhythm. Any amount of letters can fit into this four-beat rhythmic pattern.
