Songs for children can be found easily in many places such as the library and on internet sites such as iTunes.
Songs for children may be brought home to you by your child from school. There are many songs that you may know already. Singing songs with your child can help development in several domains including speech and language. If you sing songs that use finger play, hand and / or body movements, this will also help with developmental skills including fine and gross motor skills (occupational skills). Some great children’s songs that include movement are:
“If you are happy and you know it, raise your hands!”
- The Wheels on the Bus
- The Itsy Bitsy Spider
- If You’re Happy and You Know It
- Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
- Open, Shut Them
- Where is Thumbkin
- I’m a Little Teapot
Happy singing!
