Music and Circle Time
Using Music, Rhythm, Rhyme and Song
- Margaret Collins - Educational Consultant, Southampton
- Claire Wilkinson
Music and Circle Time follows the same popular and accessible style as Margaret Collins' established and successful Circle Time series. This book provides user-friendly classroom activities to engage young children.
It uses Circle Time techniques to help children use and learn about:
- Rhythm, jingles, raps and chants
- Songs
- Instruments
- Ring games
- Music, art and story projects
The enjoyable activities can also enhance learning of other aspects of the curriculum. There is evidence that children who are familiar with a wide-ranging repertoire of rhymes and songs learn to read earlier.
Using this book all teachers will be able to implement music in their Circle Time sessions in a confident and creative manner.
