This book is for ages 3 to 9 years. These wonderful games to play in circles have been passed down from generation to generation and are full of music, wonder, magic, and make-believe. Some of these circle games are stationary games in which one child chases after another while the rest of the group does not move, while others begin with stationary circles but end with travelling circles as, one by one, children join a group moving around the circle. All of these games encourage a variety of developmentally appropriate behaviours, including social skills, cognitive development, creativity, language development, motor skills, and musical skills. Some of the favourite songs included are "Muffin Man," "Charlie over the Ocean," "The Farmer in the Dell," "Allee Galloo," and "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush."

This review is from: The Book of Beginning Circle Games (First Steps in Music series) (Paperback)
This book is very well organized and easy to use. There are plenty of songs. Know, however, that there are several basic games, and many songs to use with that handful of games - for example, there may be 6-8 songs where children make a bridge and a leader weaves in and out, picking up more and more children as the game progresses. So, use the song that works for you, but don't expect 50 different circle games.

This review is from: The Book of Beginning Circle Games (First Steps in Music series) (Paperback)
I use the games and songs from this book in Prek3 to 3rd grade music classes and the children love them. Many of the circle games are familiar to me but having them printed out helps so much when I draw a blank in the heat of teaching.
