Description
Games, movements, stories, songs, pictures, rhymes, celebrating our connection to water
Based on music and activities created by ZunZun
.
This is a book that celebrates water and how it moves within us, and all around us. How it swirls, jumps, splashes rises and falls. How we use it, protect it and live within it.
To help you create these movements, we have created songs and videos that you can access on our website:
www.thewaterbeat.com/activitybook.html
We have also created a rhythmic soundtrack “thewaterbeatsong” that you can use for all of the activities, or just as music to enjoy for anything you do. There is a 5-minute and a 15-minute version. You can even create your own water movement sequences. Get creative! There is no right or wrong way to do any of the movements and activities in this book!
Water Is Everywhere
Water is everywhere!
Point to anything, and it is there.
Teacher, shoe, guitar and hair.
Water is everywhere!
Try and find something that does not have water in it.
Is there anything?
You Are A Water Expert
This book is a celebration of you. You are more than half water, just like planet earth.
You are a water person. You are a water expert.
Each beat of your heart sends mostly water throughout your body. Boom boom flow, boom boom flow, from side to side, and head to toe. That heartbeat was with you since the beginning of your life in the belly of your mother.
You are filled with the rhythms and movements of water. Water music. This music is all around you as well, in the wind that blows your hair, in the mist that touches your skin, and the crashing waves that you feel in the soles of your feet.Listen more closely and you can hear these water sounds in you as well. You are waves and waterfalls!
We are born from it, are part of it, made of it.
You have a whale song in you… so sing!
Water can carve through rock—you have that strength of water within you. Be Strong!
You need to move like water needs to run. So Move!
