Overview

Do you sometimes wish there was a song that went along with your favorite children's story? Do you sometimes wish you had a fun and cute activity for your students to do? Enclosed in this book are songs, some original and some classics, which lend themselves nicely to having something for children to hold. It is my experience that children have more fun in a lesson when there is something to actively do as opposed to simply listening to instruction. More fun will hopefully lead to better retention of the material taught! That is why this book was created. Velcro, felt, and glue guns are your friends! You can find materials for creative manipulatives at department stores, craft aisles and just about anywhere. Copy these ideas or use them as a starting point for your own ideas for manipulatives. The songs and manipulatives are super easy and super helpful. You will find your students singing these songs at various times throughout the day, to just start singing spontaneously. What a joy it is to hear children singing! And what a surprise when you hear what they remember! I hope you enjoy this resource for many years!
