Playtime, Collaboration, Community, Expressive, Imaginative

Create a plan for songs and music experiences to use in Family Sprouts

1. Come and Join the Circle
2. Movement: Elevator song (for children who need help, parents can lift them up and down. Other children can move up and down like an elevator)
3. Instrument Playing: I Like this Song (allow lots of time for family collaborative music making)
4. Family interaction: I’d use the song “Run Baby Run,” but allow each family member to choose a movement and use their name instead of “Baby.”
5. Goodbye: I’d use my own goodbye song and provide a lot of space for children to wave goodbye to other families in the group.
