Parent Tip:   A good way for a child to learn how to spell his/her own name
Song:  "Bingo" (Wee Sing Children's Songs and Fingerplays, Wee Sing The Best of Wee Sing)
• Substitute mommy or daddy for "farmer." Substitute boy or girl for "dog."
• Instead of "Bingo," substitute your child's name and spell it in rhythm. Any amount of letters can fit into this four-beat rhythmic pattern.

    There was a mommy had a boy
    And Cameron was his name-o.
    CA-ME-RO-N,
    CA-ME-RO-N,
    CA-ME-RO-N,
    And Cameron was his name-o.

• Instead of "Bingo," substitute the child's name and spell it in rhythm. Any amount of letters can fit into this four-beat rhythmic pattern.

    And Jennifer was its name-o.

    JE-NN-IF-ER,
    JE-NN-IF-ER,
