Overview
In the second unit, “Follow the Leader: Copy Me,” we delve into the realm of memory and imitation. Building on recalling patterns, actions, and rhythms, Nursery children develop their cognitive skills by mimicking actions and rhythms set by their peers or the leader. Through this playful imitation, they enhance their memory and coordination while exploring the joy of creating rhythms together.
