Nicole Hammer presents a delightful collection of 65 fun and exciting activities for Preschool, Kindergarten and First Grade classroom and music teachers as well as home schooling parents. At the age where fundamental material should be continually presented in new and different forms, this book contains a huge variety of rhymes, songs, games and dances. There are suggestions for props and costumes, art activities, plays with puppets and picture cards. Every effort has been made to stay true to the Orff Schulwerk principle of inviting children to make their own contributions.
