Although summer is a time full of bright weather, pool days, and for parents, a bit of rest and relaxation, it can also be a time to get a head start prepping for a new school year especially using Sing and Speak 4 Kids (SS4Kids).
Sing and Speak 4 Kids for Parents and Caregivers
Sing and Speak 4 Kids for Clinicians and Teachers
Entering kindergarten is an important milestone for a child. Kids begin to hear new words, understand rhyming words, and practice pronunciation. They are also in a stage in their language development where they are beginning to create complex sentences. Read about ways to get your child Kindergarten ready.
Sing and Speak 4 Kids has over 16 songs you can choose from. You can use our game over the summer by playing through songs related to the outdoors and actually play the game outdoors with your child or client. For example, you can play through our songs “Play Ball” or “Garden Pig” and incorporate hands on vocabulary words such as using the ball to perform actions in the song or exploring the garden and identifying “grass” or “flowers” while playing “Garden Pig.”
A way a clinician or teacher may use Sing and Speak 4 Kids in the summer is to play the game in a group setting. Group play provides children with opportunities to interact with their peers. Especially using our game to sing the songs together and create a nurturing environment for language development. They can take turns, develop new social skills, and build cooperation and communication skills all through group play. Here are other ways clinicians and teachers use Sing and Speak 4 Kids.
Some Sing and Speak 4 Kids songs are about animals. For example, “Brown Bear,” “Pink Pig,” and “Cat Dog.” Explore a zoo or farm! Bring a device with you and play the animal related songs while seeing them in real life. It would be a fun interactive way to play our game.
Using Sing and Speak 4 Kids to help aid language development before the school year even starts will increase their overall vocabulary which will better prepare them as they navigate kindergarten. Try out some of these activities and have fun playing Sing and Speak 4 Kids over the summer!
