I'm a new granny to Ella, 7 months old. When singing to her, we give her a chance to anticipate punch lines in songs by pausing a few seconds before we sing that line. Now she knows what's coming and smiles every time without missing her favorite parts!

• Hum or “la, la…” the tune until someone guesses the name of the song correctly.
• Continue as long as class attention span allows.
• Encourage children to take turns humming tunes for the class to guess.
• For older children, this game can be fun with the class divided into two teams. The team with the most correct guesses wins the game.
