Singing Playgrounds
We are a Singing Playgrounds school
Singing is an important activity for mental and physical wellbeing and this project will celebrate, inspire, and enable children's creativity through their own inclusive singing-play.
This project will inspire an enable teachers to put (safe) singing-play at the heart of the playground and the school community.
Your children will:
- Learn and play singing games;
- Share their own singing games; and
- Create and compose singing games and songs
Golden Rules
There are Four Golden Rules for Song Leaders
Rule 1: Arms Outstretched
Hold your arms out in an inviting way to show someone that you would like them to join in with your game
Rule 2: Eye Contact
Look at the person you are inviting. This will encourage them to join you
Rule 3: Smile
Remember to smile, especially if it's someone you don't know very well
Rule 4: 'Off We Go'
Sing 'off we go', all on one note (the same as the first note of the song), so everyone knows exactly when and how to start
