Preparation: Blow up a large balloon. Choose a song the children are learning.
Directions: Have the children toss the balloon around the room to each other WHILE singing the chosen song at the same time. When the piano stops playing have everyone stop singing. Then, the child holding the balloon must say the WORD that comes next in the song. It's a quick game but it helps the children pay attention to the words they are singing.
Note: This works best if you start out slow and can be done faster as the children learn the words of the song. If you don't have a piano than stop the song on your own.
