ZIG ZUG!

Nonsense words are always A LOT fun! And so it is with today’s silly song!

Today’s video is for a fun, silly song from my album Singing & Dancing Together (2009), and is a romp of silly words, silly animals and guided dancing. I mean, I think those may be the exact ingredients necessary for any fun preschool activity, amiright?

How exactly did I make a music video in the time of Covid, social distancing and no large gatherings or performances, you ask? Why – using OLD VIDEO FOOTAGE!

In this video you’ll see old video of a two-year-old Piper (!!!), old footage of my nieces from my 5 Little Monkeys video with a then 9 year old Maya, 7 year old Marissa and 3 year old Eliana (who are all now 18, 16, and 11 respectively!), Miss Nina concert clips from 2010, 2013 & 2018 (in NYC and DE) AND video from my old trailer for Miss Nina Birthday Parties made with the help of my friend, Jackie, of LoveJac and Artists and Crafts – take at her daughter, Georgia’s, 3rd birthday party back in 2013!! OMG!

I think the little ones in your life are going to really love this one – it was one of my first songs that ever got radio play way back in 2010 and was super popular.  So…..

THIS WEEK’S VIDEO IS:  ZIG ZUG!

 

EARLY LEARNING CONCEPTS CHILDREN WILL GET FROM THIS VIDEO...

  • RHYMING SOUNDS: Using nonsense words is a fun way to make up rhymes and learn about rhyming. And as you listen to the song you’ll see did just that. It’s a great introduction to how to rhyme, and match sounds.
  • GROSS MOTOR MOVEMENT:  As is my way, this song is not just a song, but there is a definite dance part where I call of how to move along with me – stomping feet, clapping hands, wiggling and jumping are all in here and these are great for muscle development, coordination and fitness!
  • FUN:  Let us not forget the power of FUN and SILLINESS! The term “Brain Break” is often used these days for songs like these. Whether you’re in the midst of kiddos who need to get their wiggles out, or you just need to shift the energy of your group (and/or yourself) a silly movement song can feel like a little miracle. !!
