Since January is such a chilly month, we spend a lot of time inside. Even more motivation to keep our kids active and mentally stimulated by playing games with them.
This month we are focusing on nursery rhymes and songs with lots of actions and, of course, lots of learning.
Help develop vocabulary and models sentence construction
Develop an awareness of sounds
Understand rhyming patterns
Improves concentration and listening skills
Develop memory
Counting rhymes reinforce math skills
Did you know that nursery rhymes help with cognitive development? Repeating rhymes and stories helps the brain develop memory skills and teaches how language works.
Lyrics:
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Lyrics:
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes,
And eyes, and ears, and mouth and nose
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
Lyrics:
Hey Diddle Diddle
Hey, diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
