The purpose of the activity - Knowing musical concepts (every age at its own level) in an experiential and fun way.

The set of activities for ages 0-3:

• about the song - The animals come to say goodbye. Each animal in its own unique way and along the way also teaches us a musical concept. The puppy barks in staccato style - short and fragmented sounds, the cat in legato style - long and continuous sounds, the turtle sings to us slowly - just like he walks and the mare gallops quickly.
• at the meeting - נציג את החיות השונות (ניתן להביא בובה שתייצג כל חיה, או תמונה של החיות) תוך הדגשת התנועה הייחודית בהקשר המוזיקלי שלה. נזמין את הילדים לברך איתנו לשלום כמו כל אחת מהחיות (לדוגמא: "בואו נברך לשלום כמו הכלב" ואז מברכים בסטקטו, בקפיצות, וכו'), The teacher will play the metallophone and demonstrate how the sounds tell us which animal has come to greet us.
• in space - We will move around the room according to the different styles of the animals. Sometimes in jumps like a legato, sometimes in long and drawn-out steps like a cat, sometimes slowly like the tortoise and sometimes fast like the mare.
• in motion - נניע את אברי הגוף לפי המקצב הנכון, כלבלב – כתפיים, לטיפות – חתולה, נגלגל ידיים לאט ומהר כמו הצב והסוסה וכדו'. 
• in music - We will listen to the sounds and identify which animal the sound corresponds to. For example: tap the metallophone in staccato - a fragmented sound - and the children will recognize that it is the puppy and we will learn that the sound is called staccato and so on.
• with accessory - In order to complete the experience, children can be given dolls or cut-outs of the animals mentioned in the song and dance with them in space to the sounds of the song.
• without accessory - You can either do it with your hands depending on the animals or with your whole body to be the animals themselves.
• in the game - Pantomime - a child makes a certain movement and the children have to say which animal it is
• A recommendation for a musical piece - You can complete the learning with the melody 'חידון חיות'

The puppy barks in staccato style - short and fragmented sounds, the cat in legato style - long and continuous sounds, the turtle sings to us slowly - just like he walks and the mare gallops quickly.
• at the meeting - נציג את החיות השונות (ניתן להביא בובה שתייצג כל חיה, או תמונה של החיות) תוך הדגשת התנועה הייחודית בהקשר המוזיקלי שלה. נזמין את הילדים לברך איתנו לשלום כל אחת מהחיות (לדוגמא: "בואו נברך לשלום כמו הכלב" ואז מברכים בסטקטו, בקפיצות, וכו'), We will take out a telephone and show the children how the sounds tell us which animal has come to greet us. We will think together about a movement that suits each animal, you can also invite children to give us movement.
• in space - ננוע במרחבי החדר לפי הסגנונות השונים של החיות. פעם בקפיצות כמו לגטו, פעם בצעדים ארוכים ונמשכים כמו חתולה, פעם לאט כמו הצב ופעם מהר כמו הסוסה. עם גדולים ניתן לאתגר- פעם על רגל אחת, פעם ברגליים צמודות וכו'
• in motion - We will explore with the body the quality of movement of an animal. Sitting, standing and moving through space. 
• in music - We will learn to play the song on the metallophone.
• with accessory - In order to complete the experience, the children can be given dolls or cut-outs of the animals mentioned in the song, and each time only the group appearing in the song will stand up.
• without accessory - You can either do it with your hands depending on the animals or with your whole body to be the animals themselves.
• in the game - Pantomime - a child makes a certain movement and the children have to say either which animal it is, or (with older children) which musical concept it is.
• A recommendation for a musical piece - You can complete the learning with the melody 'חידון חיות'

The lyrics -

The animals greet peace / words and music: Nurit Weiss Levy 

The doggy staccato

He sat in the kennel

Suddenly how wonderful

met a cat

Bark Hab Hab Hab Hab/Hello Hello/Hab Hab Hab Hab/Let's take a walk today

To Gato the cat

long tail under

licked the milk

She smiled broadly

Meow Meow/Hello Hello/Meow Meow Meow Meow/Let's take a walk today

The turtle came out slowly

with his house on his back

looked to the sides

See there friends

He said hello hello/slowly/hello hello let's take a walk today

The mare in the stable

She rejoiced and thought

I'll tell you soon

And join the gang
