I would gather the students to sit at the carpet to demonstrate the shaker can be use for music , and to make noise , get the students to sing If your happy and you know it while singing it instead of using ‘If your happy and you know it clap your hands’ you can use if your happy and know it make loud noise “ while using the shaker ..

I would like to introduce a song called “what’s your favourite colour” to all infants in Arctic Willow Child Development Centre, a fun way to remember a favourite colour they like, making it easier to remember any and all colours. By starting off the song I would read it them and repeat a couple times until they get the rhythm. Using a drum with two colours on each side of the drum, have one child holding the drum and singing the colour they like or chose. And then, on to the next child.

What’s your favourite colour

My favourite colours blue

How bout you? How bout you?

How would I introduce the shaker to the infants and use it in a song?

How I would introduce the shaker to toddlers, is by shaking the homemade rattle let them know we are going to be singing a new song with the rattle,

“Shake shake shake, shake your body” to let their silly’s out

How would I introduce the shaker to infants and use it in a song?

I would show it to the babies, shake it a few times, so they hear the noise it makes and how my arm is moving. I would repeat “Shake, Shake, Shake!” In a happy or excited tone. I would probably let them use it while singing “If you are happy and you know it!”

How to introduce the shaker to babies

First I would grab the shaker and shake it around to get the children’s attention then have them sit or stand in the circle and start singing If You’re Happy And You Know It and shake the shakers when they clap their hands or stomp their feet and maybe let them take turns using the shaker when singing the song

How would I introduce shaker to infants/toddlers?

I’d sit them in a circle and have the shaker in my hands and ask if they’d like to sing a song. Babies love head shoulders knees and toes so I’d shake it to show them what to do during singing the song.

How to introduce the shaker to babies

Firstly i would grab the shaker and start shaking it, it would get their attention.

I would probably sing “if you’re happy and you know it clap your hands” then shake the shaker.

Some of the older babies would know how to shake it to the song while the younger babies would need some help.

Usually when the educators say “shake shake shake” they know what it means and they go ahead and shake the shaker.
