Every nursery will want at least one CD of children's songs. But when choosing I advise you to be very selective as, in general, the quality of music produced specifically for children is not high. It is also important to be clear on the distinction between 'nursery rhymes' - songs selected by adults to sing to children - and children's traditional songs, which are songs sung by children themselves.

Traditional playground games allow children to burn off excess energy. Lynne Garner describes some modern variations we all played them when we were children, learning the rules from one another or simply making them up as we went along. They had such names as 'British Bull Dog', 'Tag', 'He', 'It' and many others I'm sure you can think of. However, the rules used may now be a blurred memory. So in order to enable you to encourage the children to burn off a little energy by playing fun games, we have put together a few that are ideal for the playground.
