Focus – LEARNING THROUGH CONTRAST

Learning through opposites
enhances vocabulary and word association, encourages sensory and motor
development, develops discrimination and classification skills, and provides
plenty of opportunity for fun games!

On our blog – did you like the jazzy music at the ball, this
week?  Then try this
Scooby-Dooby-Doo-Wop jazz activity!
Kindermusik@Home –
  • Log in to your Kindermusik @ Home account, and play the Dolphins & Seagulls game!  Will you swim down low, or
    fly up high? 
  • Then, search around town for some dinosaur (or dragon?) eggs!  Help your child to discover the opposites in the
    game (that egg is up high, on the shelf, but this egg is down low!). 
  • Teach your whole family how to dance at the ball, by playing Sing a Song of Sixpence
    (from your home CD).  Remind them that the Queen prefers tiptoe
    dancing, with much grace and restraint, while Rupert & the pirates
    rather enjoy jazzy dancing.  Enjoy exploring contrasting movement
    together, at home!
