Action Songs

Why do we teach "Action Songs"?
There are some very good reasons:

• It's fun. Children have a lot of energy to burn. (Adults enjoy jumping around too, if they can overcome their reluctance to maybe look foolish.)
• It increases learning. Adding movement to something to be learnt improves memory.
• It's fun.
  

Here is a PowerPoint presentation containing some traditional Action Songs.
