Picture book to enjoy on your knees [Communication with Children's Song]

Last Updated December 24, 2023

"I don't know how to care for a baby," "Is the picture book still early?" Why don't you sing children's songs?
Children's songs have been sung for a long time, with beautiful Japanese on the rhythm that children feel comfortable. While enjoying the children's songs, you can build a foundation for words such as "listening" and "speaking".
Please enjoy playing repeatedly and repeatedly while having fun with parents and children.

Three Points of Children's Song

  1. Let's relax and enjoy the interaction between parents and children.
  2. Let's play slowly and repeatedly while watching the baby's reaction.
  3. Baby sometimes hates being touched or tickled by the face. In such a case, don't force yourself to play with another children's song.

Menmensu

Put it on your words and gently touch your face. The baby feels comfortable and gradually feels softer.

  1. Menmen (striking the baby's eyes twice)
  2. Soooo (twice a nose streaks)
  3. Kemushi (twice eyebrows)
  4. Krispy (slowly pinch the earlobe twice)
  5. Chichu (touch gently on the lips)

Tokyo and Japanese

It is a play that can be enjoyed by elementary school students. The child concentrates on the movement of the adult's hands while pounding what will happen next.

  1. Tokyo (slap the baby's palm with the index finger)
  2. Japanese slap the baby's palm with index finger and middle finger)
  3. Grumbling with your fingers
  4. Ponya-san (Pan and tapping)
  5. The cat is going to be.
  6. Slow up (baby's arm from bottom to top)
  7. Kochochochochocho-(sickling)

Ichiri Nirisanri

It is a word play with "Shiri" and "butt". Touch and play with various parts such as your head and shoulders so that the end ends with ass.

  1. Squeezing the toes of both toes
  2. Ankle (grabbing the ankle of both feet)
  3. Sanri (grabbing the knees of both feet)
  4. Shirishiri (sickling both ends of the hips)

If you don't know how to sing, please go to the library talk session.
