Tips
Parent Tip: Listening, memory and response
Song: Use any children’s songs that are familiar to you and your child (e.g. “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” “If You’re Happy,” “She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain,”…).
• Try this in the car. It can be fun for the whole family.
• Hum or “la, la…” the tune until your child guesses the name of the song correctly.
• Encourage your child to hum or “la, la…” a tune for you to guess.
• Take turns with everyone in the car and the miles will fly by.
Teacher Tip: Listening, memory and response
Song: Use any children’s songs that are familiar to the class (e.g. “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” “If You’re Happy,” “She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain,”…).
• Hum or “la, la…” the tune until someone guesses the name of the song correctly.
• Continue as long as class attention span allows.
• Encourage children to take turns humming tunes for the class to guess.
• For older children, this game can be fun with the class divided into two teams. The team with the most correct guesses wins the game.
