upon a set of enchanting books filled with folk tales, fairy
tales, nursery rhymes, myths, legends, and more. As

activities, her students became active musicians and lived

l Playful Possibilities—Aimee Curtis Pfitzner. Mr. Rogers
had it right when he said, "When we treat children's play
as seriously as it deserves, we are helping them feel the joy
that's to be found in the creative spirit. It's the things we
play with and the people who help us play that make a great
difference in our lives." This resource starts with the idea
of play incorporating some favorite children's books, singing
games, listening activities, and original songs, in dozens of
Orff process lesson plans to activate children and let them
"play" with music. Learning through play helps a child make
sense of the world around them. Playful learning increases
confidence as well as self-esteem and builds relationships
with others. It helps children problem-solve, understand rules
and limits, encourages conflict resolution, inspires creativity,
and expands language. Supplemental materials are included
with each book, including manipulatives, visuals, and vocal
scores. Playlists for musical resources are available in iTunes
and Spotify.
