Singing is an activity that children of all ages enjoy.
Songs can provide a fun way to reinforce family activities.
They can also be used to help children learn information for their science, math, social studies, health, music, English, and physical education classes. Nursery rhymes and cute songs that children already know can provide the framework for new songs. For younger children, parents and teachers can apply the information to be learned to the tune or rhythm of the song. The new words associated with the tune can help the child recall the information later. Older children can work in small groups or as a class to write songs that go with familiar tunes.
