We find that some of these materials are extraordinarily stimulating. This set of activities focuses on the magical potential of the mind. These activities capitalize on children's sense of wonder and love for what is magical and make believe. Everyday objects become flying carpets, magic potions, magic wands and children learn how to help themselves achieve their best through magic words. Do You Hear What I Hear Listening skills are the focus of these activities.
Children learn to listen, repeat, modify, and attach meaning to sounds.
Activities expand to include rhythm and melody objectives and children ultimate create music in their heads and music for others to hear. The final set of activities help play leaders diagnose what accomplishments children have made. Structured to be used many times, these activities help leaders find out just how creative, observant, and imaginative their children have become. Material on this site created by Helane S.
