Great Bowls of Groovy Gemelli Noodlinos! It's a new Noodle Loaf noodlesode!  Too much?  Ok, I'll tone it down.  Press play for fun music and games for kids.  Thank you.   First up a special edition of our Trivia game called Instrument or Italian Cheese.  This music appreciation game tests you knowledge of both Italian cheeses and orchestral instruments to make sure you never attempt to grate a piccolo over your pappardelle.  ✪ This episode's echo song, called Before I Get Up, is a gentle wake up song that teaches morning mindfulness and may possibly help your child wake up happy and get ready faster.  If nothing else it should help them develop a sense of pitch and rhythm. ✪ We end with a Time To Move game that involves magic gloves and finger dancing.  I learned a version of this game from Dr. John Feierabend, an early music education wizard.  It is a great game for teaching awareness of flow and tempo.  It is also big time fun. ✪ 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 do on the way to your music lesson for kids.
