Salsa, Spicy Salsa!

Hello my friends!

Songs, chants and rhymes are a natural part of quality early childhood programs. Children love them. Frequent repetition of rhymes and songs as a fun activity is likely to result in a familiarity that can be a good basis for play. Spicy Sansa and Peanut Butter songs encourage participation because they always have rhythm and usually repeated sections that children can join in with, making them predictable and so easier to memorise. This inbuilt rhythm and repetition can also be a source of satisfaction and pleasure. It also makes it easier for children to repeat them independently, building their confidence.

A variation of the Peanut Butter Songs, Salsa, Spicy Salsa helps children to learn about the order of the ingredients of a specific dish: salsa. The song has got a funny-funky meaning as well and children put lots of emotions while singing it!
