NYMAZ Early Years Music Makers Resource
It's here! Our very own Early Years resource is now live and you can access it here. If you are looking for a host of exciting, new and fun songs to use in the classroom, then look no further. The resource is an activity card pack made up of 10 favourite, outdoor and celebration songs. We commissioned 10 early years practitioners to choose a song from each theme and develop fun activities for each one. The resource can be used by practitioners and parents/carers and it includes lyrics, a 'how to' guide, and an extension activity for each song. All songs are linked to a video online, made by each practitioner who will delve deeper into the song and develop further activities based around key musical concepts. If you would like a hard copy of the activity cards, please email info@nymaz.org.uk where you can purchase it for £10 including postage.
