Pretend

This recording stimulates students to use their imaginations, role play, and develop verbal skills with fanciful songs that encourage children to think and move creatively.

Lively images and humorous lyrics invite children to pretend with movement. The songs are ideal for creative movement for children classes. In experimenting with children and observing their endurance and interest, thirty to sixty seconds seems to be the ideal length for each pretend. The endings of the songs are well defined so children know when it is time to stop both moving and pretending. During the pauses between songs, the parent or teacher can set the scene for the next pretend.

The songs are also fun to listen to while riding in the car or relaxing at home. The words to the songs are included with the CD and listeners can be encouraged to read and sing along.
