Vocal play allows children to practice the precise coordination of lips, tongue, and breathing necessary to speak words.
 Ideas for parents: Vocal Play can happen any time, but can be especially fun in the car or during bath time.  An easy way to facilitate vocal play is to sing a snippet of a song or chant a short rhythm pattern or poem and invite your child to echo you back.  Or you can sing part of a song or say part of a poem and have them respond with the next line.  It’s a simple little game that’s both engaging and beneficial for your child’s vocal development.
