Audio

  1. Here are a couple of audio files with the Hello and Goodbye songs that are used in Teddy Talk session.

    Use any song, but it’s important to include names and ask how they are:

    Hello Song

    Hello, hello, how are you? Piotr, Piotr

    Hello, hello, how are you? How are you today?

    (Wait for a response, thumbs “I’m good” or thumbs down “I’m not good”)

     

    Goodbye Song  (to the tune of Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush)

    Now it’s time to say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye

    Now it’s time to say goodbye, goodbye Piotr (or you could use the name of the objects going back into the bag)

    Kodaly Hello Song

    These songs have been slightly adapted from the songs used in Kodaly sessions.  If you slap your knees and then clap your hands to the beat this is good for rhythm development too.

  2. play@home
    start early and
    stay active for life

    Here is a link to downloadable resources Play At Home in English and Polish. These resources have been developed by the NHS to encourage early development through play at home.

    The NHS website says:

    play@home activity sheets

    These activity sheets were developed by the Care and Learning Alliance as additional play ideas for parents, carers and children.

    Presented in the style of play@home with instructions, variations, benefits and precautions, they continue to encourage everyone to have fun using things found easily around the home.

    Remember to use your play@home book regularly as your child grows, as their interests will change and develop and you will be creating those special childhood memories.

    Polish versions are now available.
