Warm up your vocals with a round of singing slide. Sing a party plan with our echo song. Name some sounds. And then take some time for yourself, because you deserve it.

Singing Slide is based on a vocal warm up game that music teachers like to play with their students. Kids mimic a slide whistle which gets them singing in their head voices and exploring their vocal range. It gives me the opportunity to record myself playing slide whistle which always comes as a surprise to my neighbors. ✪

Party Time! This echo song about planning a party has an animal themed twist. Speaking of which animal themed twist would make for a great kids party theme. Giraffe Limbo etc. Echo songs are a great way for kids to learn melodies, build their melodic vocabularies and tune their sense of pitch. Huzzah! ✪

Mystery sounds abound in this round of Name That Sound. Our very own Noodle Loaf game show announcer will guide you through the process of identifying some old-timey sounds. Unclog your ears for some close listening and a little bit of learning about technology from days gone by. ✪

We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids! It's like a music lesson for kids you can listen to without needing a jukebox and a quarter.

Music can be used to learn things besides music.  Or so I've been told. Today we test that hypothesis to see if the kids in our midst can retain essential general trivia like the fact that Michael Bolton's birth name was Michael Bolotin.  This could be a breakthrough in kids podcast technology.

Time To Move - Be a butterfly! Be a rug! Be filled with jelly! This brain break style movement activity for kids will not only get your wiggles out, it will put them back in again too. Because you’re gonna need wiggles where we’re going. ✪

Singing Slide - This vocal warmup game for kids is brought to you by slide whistles. Echo the sound the slide whistle makes to warm up your voice before singing the next song. ✪

Echo Song - I Love Fun - This echo song AKA repeat after me song is a fine piece of children’s music. So fine. So fun. It’s about how things are made and how things that are made can facilitate fun. That explanation doesn’t make it sound fun, but it is. Trust. ✪

Clap Facts - Trivia and Clap It Back combine to create Clap Facts, a general knowledge game for children where they clap back statements that are true and freeze after statements that are false. Lava is basically melted rocks: clap it. Dinosaurs lived on Earth with humans: no claps ✪

All these children’s songs and games are great for elementary age kids and younger. Take this kids podcast on the go in your car, airplane and/or dirigible.

Learning through play! Or to quote Beyoncé "I Play, Okay, I Play."  At least that's what I think she says.  Maybe I need new headphones.  Regardless, we're back with more music education in the form of songs, games and good times.
