Below are some songs that we have referenced in our Lessons which you can share with your whānau and tamariki. These songs can be used in the weeks suggested, across multiple weeks, or you might have your own ideas for song choices.

We also have a Playlist with a few audio clips recorded by tamariki and whānau
for you to listen along to as well.
