Download both mp3
versions at the
Listening Room
Circle Time 1-02
Download both versions of this
song. Use the first version (with
lyrics) to introduce the song
and instrument cards.
Once the child is familiar with
the cards, play the second
version to hear the sound of
each instrument. See if the
child can guess the name of
the instrument he or she hears
before the card is shown.
The Printable Activity:
Print the pdf activity onto
cardstock paper. Cut out each
card and the card holder on the
last page. Mountain fold all of
the dotted lines. Glue the white
tabs to the back of your holder
(see photo). Now when your
cards are in the folder, your
child won’t see the instrument
that goes with each letter until
you take it out. Great for
listening and guessing.
