| How to use |
・If used as a supplemental teaching aid in a group setting, it should be handled as not only a plaything for individuals but also as a tool for stimulating interest in singing. If the attention of the children in a group setting becomes focused on the teaching aid, its use should be phased out. ・For children who have difficulty flipping the pages, attach tags or some other aid to each page. ・When necessary, add more picture cards and increase the song repertoire. ・Prepare a variety of cards and an environment conducive to the children. ・Warn the children about the dangers of swinging the teaching materials around. |
