Noodle Loaf - Music Education Podcast for Kids

It's that time of year again! It's also ALMOST that time of year again. Two great reasons to do some a cappella style vocal jamming using the names of different pasta shapes. What better way to learn the art of part singing? Here is more information about what musical fun for the whole family lies within this episode:



✪ We begin with a Vocal Jam, which will turn your family into a pasta themed a cappella group. It is literally the reason you had kids.



✪ Next up, we're singing an Echo Song called Luis the Duck. It is either most likely total nonsense, unless it isn't in which case it contains all of humanities combined wisdom.



✪ Then we play Name That Tune, and listen as the sounds combine to tell a story. I'll play a sound, you try to name it!



✪ A fourth game! Yup! It's Jam Along, where you get to bang on things that won't get you in trouble for banging on them. It's a rhythm game about funkiness!

We hope you enjoy our music and games for pre-k, kindergarten and all little kids! It's like a music lesson made out of nothing but sound waves and dreams.

Noodle Loaf is excited to share a recent episode of the Kids Listen podcast Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups About Feelings featuring Noodle Loaf and our friends at Dr. Friendtastic and Power Dog Adventures. The episode is hosted by Abbe Opher & Kelly MacBride of Koala Kids. Each episode in the series gives you a taste of some other great kids shows to check out, and explore what it means to be human! "You can't beat that with a bat" - Black Sheep (a group that makes me feel joyful).

Welcome back to Big Emotions! This week we’re thinking about ourselves in a group, or what it feels like when we strike out on our own. We’ll discover how belonging means being part of a group that accepts and values you, whereas independence is about finding your own way, making your own choices, and standing on your own two feet. In this episode, we explore how these two feelings, while different, are deeply connected - and how you can both fit in and stand out. From family to friends to magical creatures, our stories will show you how you can find your place while staying true to yourself!

Welcome back to another episode filled with interactive music games delightfulness. Rhythm, pitch and movement are going to occupy your next ten minutes so take out your hair and put in your teeth for Noodle Loaf! Sorry, I'm never sure what to write here. It says "episode description." Maybe I should be more specific? Ok, this episode will contain the following opportunities for creative expression:



✪ We begin with the Rhyme Time, a rhyming game that develops phonological awareness by asking you to find a rhyme for "marzipan." You got this Noodlinos!



✪ Next up, we're singing an Echo Song called We Share This Neighborhood. It is inspired by a board book by Dan Saks of the same name. What are some things you share in your neighborhood? A school? A waterfront? A bike share? Let me know!



✪ We wrap it up with a Time to Move in which a magic bubble has found its way into your body. Watch it travel through your body, causing your arms, legs, and feet to float around all beautiful like. You look magical.



We hope you enjoy our music and games for pre-k, kindergarten and all little kids! It's like a music lesson if your music teacher was named Dan.

I hope you have your goofin' hat on because we are diving in the deep end of the joyous music giggle pool and we're gonna need hats? If you say so! Oh, yeah, also...Ziggy Marley is on this episode! He stopped by Noodle Loaf to help show how easy and fun it is to make up songs about just about anything, and tell us about his new book Pajammin'. We hope you like pajammin' too!

✪ We begin with the Trivia where you are asked to guess if a word is either a style of music or clothes. Jazz or Jorts. Jazzorjorts. Jazzercising in Jorts may lead to chafing.

✪ Next up, we talk to Ziggy Marley about his new book, Pajammin' and get the inside scoop on making up songs on the fly. This leads into a rousing round of KaraYOUke where you get to try out making up songs based on words that connect to his book.

✪ This episode's Echo Song is called Every Time That I Sneeze. It is about how your host Dan Saks can create hit songs with his involuntary body sounds. It is better than that makes it sound?

We hope you enjoy our music and games for pre-k, kindergarten and all little kids! It's like a music lesson if your music teacher was Ziggy Marley.

✪ We begin with the Echo Song We Share This Earth that uses text from the book of the same name to bask in the warmth of our global community. The song is available as a single wherever streams get streamed.
✪ Next up, we write a story together during a game called You Make The Story. It's like Mad Libs in real time with a soundtrack and no pencils.
