Finding fun and entertaining musical activities for kids during the summer months can be a lot of fun for the entire family. I have compiled a list of several online activities that you can share with your kids while helping them learn more about music!
- Dragon Tales sing-along at PBSKids.org. For the younger kids in the house that are a fan of the Dragon Tales series, what could be more fun than singing along with their favorite tunes from the Dragon Tales Singing Springs? There are several different songs for each of the main Dragon Tales characters plus there are many other fun activities on the site as well. In order to play the music you will have to have RealPlayer installed on your system.
- Does your child envision himself as a DJ one day? With the Turntables web site you can create your own basic beat and scratch patterns to listen to. Scratch away!
- If you have the free Shockwave Flash plug in installed on your browser your kids will love playing with Aaron Siegel's drum and bass application. Drag any of the various parts (including the big target itself) around the screen to play with the various pieces of the ensemble. The closer the individual pieces get to the center of the target the louder they become.
- All kids love playing in tents! On a rainy day, make a big tent in your living room from bed sheets and chairs and have an indoor camping trip! Sing a few songs like the ones detailed in my article about traditional summer camp songs and let your kid's imagination run wild!
