You've Got to Clap - Teacher Manual

You've Got To Clap is another wonderful collection of original songs from Kids Music Company. Musical activities are fun to share and are a very powerful learning tool. Children learn best when the stimulation is multi-sensory. Exposing children to musical activities develops musicality. Just as a child learns to speak through hearing the language being spoken around him/her, experimenting, exploring and imitating the language, so he/she also learns to sing. A child will never learn to sing in tune, move in time or play instruments if he/she has never had the opportunities to develop these skills. Musical ability is so dependent on musical exposure. Quality recorded music and activities can provide much of this exposure and give confidence to adults who may not sing readily. Learn sunsmart actions with Put On Your Hat, play found sounds at The Beach, dance in a circle with Skip In To The Middle then see if you can move like a frog, kea and crocodile in Jump Like A Green Frog. Learn colours in Colour Dancing and geometric shapes in I Can Paint. Be a clown, a bunny then a dragon in Friends and play a rhythmic pattern in Let's Play The Drum. After all this multi-sensory activity a gentle lullaby, Close Your Eyes, will help you wind down Enjoy all the positive learning opportunities available on this CD.
