Games for Babies: Beak-it

This Article was originally posted Friday, May 14th on the Studio3Music Website.  I will be posting a series of articles about exercises and games we can do with our babies and toddlers.

In my Village Classes, we’ve been exercising little arms, legs, and brains to one of my favorite poems.

One Misty Moisty Morning


One misty moisty morning,
When cloudy was the weather,
I chanced to see an old man dressed all in leather.
He began to compliment
And I began to grin.
How do you do?
How do you do?
And, how do you do again?

When we get to the repeated “How do you do?” section, we stop the exercises and “beak-it” the babies on each word “you.” Beak-it? Yes!  The touch is paired with language, either the poem above, or a simple “beep” or “beak-it.”
