Antara sebab yang saya sangat suka dengan action songs (yang ni banyak dibuat dengan Hana), it enhances hand eye coordination, develop concentration, dan kuatkan memori. Memang sebelum saya ada banyak tunjuk video youtube di TV dan nyanyi bersama-sama tapi sejak pergi training hari tu, rasa macam kanak-kanak lagi appreciate kalau kita yang nyanyi with our raw voices. Teringat bila trainer cakap human voices are beautiful (tak kisahlah deaf tones pun), sebab ada yang malu-malu (saya) nak nyanyi depan orang ramai. Hee.
Kami (mak dia terutamanya) suka sangat dengan Super Simple Songs!
Aqeel sekarang (27mth) tak berapa suka sangat dengan Nursery Rhymes dan Action Songs. Dia lebih suka pada Counting & Alphabets songs.
Hana dulu (sampai sekarang) suka yang ni Skeleton Dance by Super Simple Songs. Saya lebih suka versi ni sebab dalam lirik ada “Shake the Bone to the Left, Shake the Bone to the Right” dan videonya tunjuk opposite supaya budak-budak boleh ikut dan buat arah yang betul.

Mustahil untuk beli Montessori Bells, sebab tersangatlah mahal. Jadi ramai yang DIY guna handbells instead. I was very lucky to buy a set of handbells, dari owner preschool yang nak ditutup dengan harga yang sangat murah, Alhamdulillah. Anyway, similarly boleh beli sini.
Tujuan aktiviti ni adalah untuk develop child’s auditory sense terutamanya dari segi tones. Secara tak langsung, prepare kanak-kanak pada music. Kalau Montessori Bells yang asal, ada 13 bells. Yang handbells ada ni ada 8 je. Tapi ni kira dah cukup bagus for us, untuk capai tujuan aktiviti ni.
Aktiviti yang kami buat dengan handbells ni. (Diambil dari Montessori Commons)
1. Show the children how to strike a bell and mimic the pitch or sing a short phrase.
2. Beri nama. After the children are very comfortable with this given them the names of the tones that are culturally appropriate. Play a tone and give it’s name in a three period lesson, give two at a time, reviewing ones already done. Give none-adjacent tones so the child can compare.
Games with Names
The child plays a tone and sings it’s name.
Later after the sensorial impression has been given draw the children’s attention to the fact that the names are in the sequence of the alphabet.
3. Establishing up and down

Say, ‘I can play up the bells’, play three notes in sequence getting higher, ‘I can also play down the bells’, play three tones in sequence getting lower. Invite the children to try, they do not need to go in sequence.
Also let the child know the comparatives and superlatives.
Games with up and down
Relate movements reaching up and crouching down with the tones height, ask the child to move in relation to the way you play.
