Children’s Songs and Singing Games!
A highly interactive program appropriate for very young children and family audiences. Children sing, dance, move, imitate animals, play rhythm instruments, learn songs in Spanish and other languages through call and response, and explore other cultures through traditional and contemporary children’s songs and play parties from around the world. The program also includes sing-alongs performed on guitar, banjo and other instruments.
This program is supported, in part, by a grant from the Lenox Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a stage agency.
