What to do today

Please join in with the activities below. The more who can join in, the more fun, too. Not all of the activities are for everyone, so just do the ones you enjoy and as many times as you like.

Hello Song

It’s a time to settle down for some music and there are lots of ways to join in. Use it on its own or before doing another music activity.

Join in and sing, clap, tap and move along to the song!
Maybe you can try using your voice
Sign hello
Tap fast and slow
Sign “Stop” at the end
Have fun!

Words

Hello, hello

More ideas with this video

If you can’t tap along, maybe a friend can tap your arm or foot for you so that you can feel the beat of the music.
Can you stamp your feet to the music? Can you tap your shoulders or your head? Move your fingers
Maybe try playing along with a shaker, or tap something that makes a sound that you like. A box of cereal?
