101 More Music Games For Children

101 More Music Games for Children presents more fun and learning with rhythm and song By Jerry Storms. Perfect for ages 6 and up, the games are based on music, song, and dance gathered from different cultures. This book includes rhythm games, dance and movement games, card and board games, and musical projects. All games stress humor, challenge, surprise, and cooperation rather than competition. Many of the games explore the basics of music and facilitate musical development. 

Through playing the games, children learn skills such as spontaneous singing, recognizing rhythms, and structuring sound. Appropriate age levels, times of play, and group size are indicated for each game. 101 More Music Games is an excellent resource for anyone, notably substitute music teachers who may not be musically trained.
