Learning With Music: Games and Activities for the Early Years5

Learning with Music - musical fun from the start for children

This is the 5th level of early years songs for young children new to singing. We’re adding more notes and rhythms, helping them to recognise the sequence of scales, and division of musical beats. And all of this, through songs and games!

Lived by himself

When the wheel went ’round he

Made his grab
