I like to introduce the song, B-I-N-G-O to the children to teach them to listen for when to clap.\u00a0 It goes like this,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a farmer had a dog
And Bingo was his name-O.
B-I-N-G-O,
B-I-N-G-O,
B-I-N-G-O
And Bingo was his name-O!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find the tune for BINGO on YouTube if you\u2019re not familiar with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For very young children, we practice clapping for each letter of the word, Bingo.\u00a0 Older children will be much better at spelling\u00a0 B-I-N-G-(clap) the first time they sing it; B-I-N-(clap-clap) the second time through; B-I-(clap-clap-clap) the third time; B-(clap-clap-clap-clap) the fourth time; and (clap-clap-clap-clap-clap) the last time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After your child is familiar with B-I-N-G-O, try clapping the 5-clap sequence without singing the song.\u00a0 See if your child can clap it back to you.\u00a0 It might take a little practice!\u00a0 Keep practicing that sequence over several days or even weeks with your child.\u00a0 You might want to try a little game.\u00a0 Say \u201cWhen you hear me go (clap-clap-clap-clap-clap) put your finger on your nose!\u201d\u00a0 Or, \u201crub your tummy\u201d, or another silly motion.\u00a0 At school, we use that sequence as a signal that means \u201cturn and look at me\u201d!\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also like to mix it up sometimes!\u00a0 Try tapping the sequence on a drum or on the table.\u00a0 Encourage your child to repeat it after you do it.\u00a0 We also use a wood block to tap on at school because it\u2019s small, easy to master for preschoolers, and it\u2019s loud!\u00a0 As your child gets a little older, you can try teaching new rhythmic clapping sequences.\u00a0 With practice, they should be able to come up with a sequence to teach you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
