Hand-Clapping Songs (5 videos)

Improve Motor and Cognitive Skills

Children between ages six and ten go through a developmental process responsive to hand-clapping songs.  These activities enhance children’s needs – emotional, sociological, physiological and cognitive.  Feeling more alert and being in a better mood occurs.  Developmental learning problems like dyslexia and dyscalculia may be reduced.  Research conducted at Ben-Gurion University by Dr. Idit Sulkin is briefly described in Science Daily.  It suggests music and clapping and movement be an integral part of early education.
