Mom and Baby for 4/4/20

Thanks to everyone who came to mom and baby class this week!  Here I will post the lesson plan used this week.  こんにちは。今週のママベビークラスに参加いただきありがとうございました。レッスンで利用した歌や本を掲載しました。

OPENING SONG: Hello Hello! Can You Clap Your Hands?

OPENING FINGERPLAY: Open Shut Them

TRADITIONAL SONG: The Alphabet Song

THE SHAPE GAME:  This time we add the ‘star’ shape.

BOOK: Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb
A band of dancing monkeys explain hands, fingers, and thumbs. This book uses simple words, repetition, and pictures that act as clues to the text.

HANDS-ON  ACTIVITY: We enjoyed playing a djembe.  According to the Bambara people in Mali, the name of the djembe comes from the saying “Anke djé, anke bé” which translates to “everyone gather together in peace” and defines the drum’s purpose.

MUSIC AND MOVEMENT: Clap Slow, Clap Fast

CLOSING FINGERPLAY SONG: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

CLOSING LAP RHYME: Zoom Zoom Zoom
