A while ago we made up a song about things that go, and today we sang it using a puzzle.
Here's the puzzle we used:
We put all the pieces in a little bag and pulled them out one at a time. We sang this little song with each piece:
I'm driving my ______, driving my ______,
Down the street.
Down the street.
I'm driving my _______,
Down the street.
(With the airplane & helicopter, we sang it this way: I'm flying my ______, In the sky. etc.)
Pretty basic, but a song that LM loves to sing because of all the things you can drive, fly, and so forth. And using the puzzle was a fun way to spice it up a bit!
It would be fun to make up a simple song like this with other puzzles too. We have an animal puzzle. You could use this same simple tune and sing,
I see a ______, In the Zoo
or
In the Jungle
or
On the Farm
There's definitely not much to a simple song like this, but that's what makes it so fun -- It's easier for little ones to learn quickly!
