Singing Waters, Dancing Flames

Mr. Rogers had it right when he said, "When we treat children's play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping them feel the joy that's to be found in the creative spirit. It's the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives." This resource starts with the idea of play, incorporating some favorite children's books, singing games, listening activities, and original songs in dozens of Orff process lesson plans to activate children and let them "play" with music. Learning through play helps children make sense of the world around them. Playful learning increases confidence as well as self-esteem and builds relationships with others. It helps children learn problem-solving skills and understand rules and limits, encourages conflict resolution, inspires creativity, and expands language. Supplemental materials are included with each book, including manipulatives, visuals, and vocal scores. Playlists for musical resources are available in iTunes and Spotify.
