Hands-on art work is an activity that children like very much. Combined with the text results of children's songs or phrases,
It will make "artwork and children's song literacy" both more interesting.
---ใAlthough there are ready-made children's songs to choose from, it is easy to make up a children's song by yourself at any time by matching the theme words (scatter the theme word cards in front of you and see these words). Because children's songs are short and catchy, they don't need to be perfect. It doesn't matter if they don't rhyme, and it doesn't matter if there is one more new word. Our purpose is to combine art and craft products to encourage children to review and read. (When compiling children's songs, it is understandable to add one or two new words. It is also good to use old words to introduce new words. However, the new words must be "a few". Children are welcome to join in the creation if they want.)
---ใI will give a simple example:
(A) Childrenโs songs come first, and arts and crafts come later
Example 1: (Basic story)
---ใChildren's Song:
I have two hands,
One on the left and one on the right.
Both the left and right hands have 5 fingers.
(I just thought about it. The word "finger" for "finger" didn't appear in the primary story, it's just one word, no problem)
---ใSimple art work:
Take two pieces of paper and a pen. The child's left and right hands are spread out on the paper. Use the pen to follow the child's
Trace it with your hands, let the children cut it out, and then paste it on the printed nursery rhyme paper.
(Or do the opposite, cut out the children's songs and paste them on the two hands or in the middle of the hand drawing)
Example 2: (Intermediate level story)
---ใChildren's Song: The plane flies high, the plane flies low
The plane flies far away The plane flies close
My paper airplane didnโt win first place
(We donโt have the new word โlowโ in this series of books, but itโs easy to combine old words with new ones.)
---ใSimple art work:
The children can fold paper airplanes and write children's songs on the whiteboard. After reading the children's songs, they start playing with paper airplanes.
Then put the printed children's songs on your own paper airplane and take it home.
(B) Arts and crafts come first, childrenโs songs come later
Example 1:
-----ใArtwork: Cut/drawn a big turtle and a small turtle
(Or use playdough to make three-dimensional turtles of different sizes, both are art works)
---ใChildren's Song: (Compiled at will based on the text of the primary story)
Little turtle, crawl and crawl,
When you are tired of climbing, stop for a moment.
Crawling forward, chasing mom.
(Type out the children's song and stick it on the turtle's belly, or stick a thin thread on the turtle's tail.)
Example 2:
โ-ใArtwork: Children draw their own brothers or sisters (or make them three-dimensional)
โ-ใChildren's Song:
Little brother is short
Small mouth loves to drink milk
The round face is so cute
(Type out the childrenโs song and paste it on the front or back of the picture)
