The exercise can be further developed into an art or literacy one, based on the images and sounds children have seen and heard. The poems can even be used to form the basis of a creative writing activity.Pictures, Poems & Percussion 2 includes a Words on Screen™ eSongbook, that you can access instantly in your online account!
