Preschool Music: Learning through Contrast

Focus - LEARNING THROUGH CONTRAST


Learning through opposites enhances vocabulary and word association, encourages sensory and motor development, develops discrimination and classification skills, and provides plenty of opportunity for fun games!

On our blog - did you like the jazzy music at the ball, this week?  Then try this Scooby-Dooby-Doo-Wop jazz activity!

Kindermusik@Home -
  • Log in to your Kindermusik @ Home account, and play the Dolphins & Seagulls game!  Will you swim down low, or fly up high? 
  • Then, search around town for some dinosaur (or dragon?) eggs!  Help your child to discover the opposites in the game (that egg is up high, on the shelf, but this egg is down low!). 
  • Teach your whole family how to dance at the ball, by playing Sing a Song of Sixpence (from your home CD).  Remind them that the Queen prefers tiptoe dancing, with much grace and restraint, while Rupert & the pirates rather enjoy jazzy dancing.  Enjoy exploring contrasting movement together, at home!
