Parent Tip: Instilling rhythm at a young age
Song: Any that are familiar and comfortable (Wee Sing and Play, Wee Sing Nursery Rhymes and Lullabies, Wee Sing Children's songs
and Fingerplays)
•A good sense of rhythm aids in reading skills, athletic skills,
music skills, and other skills requiring coordination.
•Ball bouncing, clapping games and jump roping are excellent for
developing a sense of rhythm which will be beneficial throughout life.
•Wee Sing and Play has many rhymes specifically suited for these
activities, but any familiar rhyme (e.g. nursery rhymes) or song will work.
•Younger children (preschoolers) are usually not ready for jump
roping, but can master simple ball bouncing and clapping exercises.
•Older children (K-4) will enjoy the challenge of these games and
feel a sense of accomplishment and self confidence when they are mastered.
•It’s never too late to begin helping your child feel rhythm.
The earlier you begin, the easier it is as the child gets older.
