How is this child able to follow along and mimic the hand motions of the song? In what ways does she interact with you during this experience? How long is she able to remain engaged with this activity? Why is this Important:
Giving children an opportunity to slow down, focus on a song, and share a moment with you helps them manage transitions. Sharing a song with this child that can be adapted to be fast or slow, quiet or loud gives you a chance to set the tone as you lead her into the next activity.
Materials:
Poster with words to "Open, Shut Them"
Open, shut them. Open, shut them.
Give a little clap, clap, clap.
Open, shut them. Open, shut them.
Fold them in your lap, lap, lap.
What To Do:
Invite this child to sit with you and sing a song. Hold up your hands and invite her to mimic your movements. Sing "Open, Shut Them" at a pace consistent with this child's abilities. (Slow down if she needs time to make the motions while singing; speed up if she is quick to move her body with the music.) You may need to physically help her make the hand movements. Having this child sit on your lap so that you can help her move her hands and arms may be a useful strategy to try if this child needs physical assistance and wants to participate. Change the tone and volume of your voice to make the song interesting. For example, you may want to whisper the last line. Give this child an opportunity to sing the song to you on her own if she wishes. Use this song any time this child needs to transition to a quiet activity, such as listening to a story. Encourage her to watch others singing the song and to demonstrate it for a family member.
