Synopsis
Provides instructions for non-competitive games that use music tapes or CDs and simple instruments to help children learn about music and sound and develop creative, personal, and social skills.

From the Publisher
For ages 4 and up
Music is wonderful for bringing out creativity and encouraging learning in kids. They love to sing and dance, and they love it when adults sing and dance along with them. Appropriate for families, teachers, day care providers, and camp leaders, this book presents lively music games that children and adults can play together.

Using popular songs, easy rhythms, and musical recordings, the games in this book help children develop creative, personal, and social skills. They also learn about music and sound. The games are not competitive - they encourage and reward children for participating, not for winning.

All you need to play the 101 music games are music tapes or CDs and simple instruments, many of which can be made from common household items. Age levels are suggested for each game ranging from four years old to teens and up. Many games are especially good for large group settings such as birthday parties and day care. Others are easily adapted to meet classroom needs.

This book also makes a great gift. Grandparents, parents, teachers - anyone who enjoys interacting with children - will love it.

Other books in the SmartFun Books series include "101 Dance Games for Children" and "101 Drama Games for Children."

book review
Great ideas, but no CD or music to go along with it, so have to make up your own tunes sometimes, but good ideas!
