Word
Bird’s Rainy-Day Dance
- Along with creative
play, creative movement and dramatics are
hallmarks of the early childhood years. Children
are learning many ways to communicate with their
bodies. They love to play pretend. A young child
watches an airplane zoom overhead. Suddenly his
arms are outstretched and he zooms around
pretending to fly like the airplane in the sky.
Word Bird’s Rainy Day Dance is one example of a
creative dance story about digging and planting
a garden on a spring day. Children love to
dramatize the sequence from seeds to plants,
fruits, and veggies.
In the book, everyone has a part.
Children are also learning about working
together and creating a story themselves, as
they move with enough space
to sway, turn, twirl,
tiptoe ,and bend, as they dance.
Word Bird's Hats - Over the
course of a week, Word Bird tries on hats
representing different occupations and assembles
the tools Word Bird needs for each job.
For schools and libraries, Child's
World distributes the Word Bird Books online at
Childsworld.com.
