One of the ways to keep children occupied is to do the things that they like to do, and that is exactly what Jim does.
He tells stories in different forms while dancing with them.
Or reading out simple stories to them.
Jim (from ScribbleMonster) knows the importance of keeping the body active and makes sure the kids too move their limbs.
I was just admiring the multitasking that Jim was doing, like singing, playing the guitar, interacting with the kids, dancing and making sure that there is no dull moment in between.
Jim Reeves (my favourite country singer) always used a box guitar (acoustic) and it is purely coincidental that our Jim also uses a box guitar that helps him in keeping the rhythm.
Sometimes the parents also get involved and that makes it all the more fun for the kids to participate
As the program came to an end the interaction increased.
Maybe the video with the music will give a better idea.
The open air atmosphere with the water body at the Schaumburg Townsquare adds to the positive impact on the show.
Looks like everyone is having fun. Great captures!
ReplyDeleteYou are right Bill, all those who were present there had fun.
