This action-packed compendium offers parents, teachers, and anyone else
who works with kids a wide array of ingenious sound and dance activities
from a variety of cultures to get kids singing, dancing, listening,
interacting, and involved. 101 More Music Games for Children includes
games that facilitate musical development, such as sound games, rhythm
games, game projects, and card and board games. All of them have simple,
clear rules, and they stress excitement, humor, challenge, surprise, and
cooperation rather than competition. Whether or not kids are "musical"
or play an instrument, these activities can help them: develop musical
skills such as spontaneous singing; create, play, and recognize various
rhythms; appreciate the structure of sounds; and learn how to play with
all kinds of instruments. Like its best-selling predecessor, this book
encourages and enhances creative expression, social interaction, family
relationships, and kids' budding powers of listening, concentration, and
discrimination.
