SM 3 Plan:
– Hello Song
– Gather ‘Round (This song is so unique and I loved it!)
– My Brand New Friend (Encouraging the movement from bonding with parents to bonding with another child, and moving into the circle, away from parent)
– You Play a Little (Again, encouraging that bonding and interaction with another child, and learning about taking turns)
– Will You Come? (Asking children for their suggestions for movements, supporting their creativity)
– A Book – I loved the suggestions in this video, and would love to learn about some more books!
– Goodbye Song

Family Sprouts Plan:
– Hello Song
– Come and Join the Circle (Bringing everyone together and into the group, encouraging older sibs to help out the younger ones)
– Hold On Tight (Maybe older sib can give the younger sib a lap ride, or, as Meredith suggests, positioning older sib closest to parent with younger sib in front)
– I Like This Song (With a large variety of instruments available for the older and younger children that may attend)
– I Can Move Around (Adapting so younger children are observing or just beginning to move, and older children can exercise creativity in suggesting new ways to move)
– All of This Is Me (Older sibs help younger sibs point out body parts)
– Goodbye Song

5 Words for Family Sprouts: Bonding, joint play, joyful, individuality, cooperation

Family Spouts Plan: Hey Everybody to gather them, Hold On Tight, All of This is Me, You and Me Makes…We with sibling, I can move around and end with goodbye song

[Linda Madler]

Five words for SM3: personality, creative, accepting, emotions, push and pull
Five words for Family Sprouts: joyful, sharing, cooperative, busy, support

SM3 Plan:
Gathering: Sit Down With Me
Bonding: My Brand New Friend (I like the structure of the song–changing partners, parents modeling. For shy children, this would feel safe because parents are there and the song is brief.)
Me: Where is the Music?
Instrument Play: Music is the Way (seems like a nice way to take it down a little after “Where is the Music?”)
Movement: Will You Come?
Good-bye: Thank You Very Much

Family Sprouts Plan:
Gathering-Come and Join the Circle
Bonding–Hold On Tight (I liked the note about positioning the family–parent, older child, younger sibling. What a special way to bond as a family. I remember holding younger siblings when I was little–how special and grown up I felt.)
Song About Me: I missed the title, but it was the one that was demonstrated in a minor key–“From my head to my toes…” (I liked the older child pointing the body parts on the little child but then having a chance to do it quickly and show off.
Instrument: I Like This Song. (I was thinking about how the older child may have participated in this song as a baby and how much he/she might like to sing and share it with sibling.)
Movement: I Can Move Around. (I like that older sibling has a chance to show off. In my mixed-age groups, I sometimes take the younger child if they are comfortable coming to me so that the older child gets needed time with parent.)
Goodbye: It’s Time to Say Good-Bye
