Dr. Emily AronoffSpark joy and the development of your kid’s vestibular system in this dreidel inspired Chanukah song for babies and toddlers! This musical activity can be a preschool chanukah song for classrooms or music classes- or a sweet, simple way to play with your baby at home.
This hardly counts as a ‘song’ and it is perhaps simply a ‘Chanukah chant’ or a ‘Chanukah rhyme’ but it came into the world through spontaneous play and I’d love to share it with you.
My kids love to spin- and we sometimes play by spinning around in big mixing bowls (a joyful discovery made when my toddler emptied a kitchen cabinet while I was cooking one day). A set of sturdy plastic nesting bowls are a great tool for LOTS of reasons- in a classroom setting, kids could take turn spinning themselves and one another.
Lyrics:
Spin, baby, spin! Spin, baby, spin!
Cause’ when we get together, everybody wins!
Spin, baby, spin! Spin, baby, spin!
It’s a Chanukah party! Would you like to spin again?
