The Wind Song
[10 Minutes]
Sit with your child at a window and watch the leaves and branches on trees move as the wind blows. As you observe, sing this song...you'll know the tune!
What to do:
- Sit with your child on your lap.
- Sing the following song for your child, swaying back and forth as you sing. (Tune: "Are You Sleeping?"/"Frere Jacques"):
Wind is blowing, wind is blowing, Through the trees, through the trees. Hold your hat on tight, let's go fly a kite. Feel the breeze, feel the breeze.
- Hold your child's hands and sway your arms while repeating song.
- Stand up and sing one more time, inviting your child to sing with you. Sway together as you hug.
Let's Talk: Ideas to Explore Together.
- Let's see if we can be like the wind. I'll blow gently on your hand. Can you do this to me?
- Do you like feeling the wind on your face?
