These bingos can be used for a variety of events: perhaps at a family literacy night, in a classroom setting with children, at home with family, or in daycares or pre-school programs.

This booklet is a collection of songs and rhymes that parents and children can enjoy together. By singing, dancing and playing with their child, parents help develop their child's language and help better prepare him or her for school.
When parents and children sing together, the child learns to listen; to wait for his or her turn; to imitate gestures, sounds and words; and learns new words and actions.
This booklet, that accompanied a CD-ROM of songs,is part of the "Talk With Me" program, a free early language service for all children aged 0 to 5 years old. This project was realized by Julie Boucher and Michèle O'Connell, Speech-Language Pathologists of the Talk With Me Service in Regional Health Authority 4 in New Brunswick.
