Rhythm Games!
/Another lovely class with very eager parents! I saw a couple of new faces in the room, and have been quite thrilled with the grown ups' willingness to join into the songs with clapping and actions, and helping their kids clap as well. They're still a bit shy on singing, but tend to join in on the more classic nursery rhymes. Most of the kids were full of happiness and excitement, but one of the older kids seemed to be having a bit of a crying episode. Her dad was loving and encouraging throughout the class, and towards the end she started to crack smiles here and there. She seemed to be having the best time as I brought out the rhythm sticks for some rhythm games and songs, followed by a nice extended jam. Not all parts of the classes click with everyone, but with enough variation in songs and activities, there can always be something to reach everyone!
