Show Notes
We continue celebrating Black History Month on our kids podcast by channeling the great tradition of Civil Rights songs, with a song about James Baldwin for kids and a song about the Black sports hero Major Taylor. Hooray for fun music for kids about inspiring Black figures! Both of these songs appear on our new Black History EP called "Oh Let Us Sing!" which features five children’s songs about five inspiring historical Black figures. Playground Game - The episode begins with the classic playground sing along song for kids, Pizza Pizza Daddy-O. We do our own spin on this creative movement game for our kids podcast but you're encouraged to search online for the old school version. ✪ Echo Song - Then we help children develop pitch and singing confidence with our original echo song, one of a few of our Black History songs for kids, James Baldwin Used His Words. It's a Black History song for preschoolers and up. ✪ Clap It Back - We also get into a music activity for kids about the traditional African-American food, cornbread, during our rhythm, game segment. This game promotes rhythmic awareness and provides a recipe you can cook with your children too! You can find the skillet cornbread recipe that inspired the music game here: Better than Jiffy ✪ Echo Song - Our final echo song, Pedal On!, is about the great Black sports hero Major Taylor who was not only a cycling champion but is also remembered as a civil rights hero. ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids!

Oh what fun we will have together in this episode. We've got movement, active listening, art, singing and lots...and...lots...of kazoo music.
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:
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 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:
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!
