Connect-a-Stretchy Band Movement Song by Listen Learn Music
Last week Rachel Rambach released her new song “Grow, Flower, Grow” just in time for spring.
It’s gloomy here today, so I hope this new video, and movement song will brighten your day, and bring inspiration and excitement to your group/class!
From Rachel:
I’ve been working with children long enough to know that movement is ESSENTIAL to a well-rounded music therapy group or early childhood class session. I’ve used all kinds of movement props, including scarves, streamers, bean bags, stretchy bands, to get my kiddos moving.
A few months ago, I added a new movement prop to my collection. The Connect-a-Stretchy Band is the newest creation from Bear Paw Creek, who also makes the popular stretchy bands we all know and love. Connect-a-Bands are made of the same material as stretchy bands, and they can be connected together in all kinds of ways for group movement activities.
My favorite is the flower shape, which inspired this song. Grow, Flower, Grow! encourages group movement using the Connect-a-Band; I love that everyone has to work together to make the “flower” do all the things mentioned in the song.
