Who
This game is suitable for 3 year olds who are beginners or intermediate swimmers. It can be played with one or more children and an adult instructor or parent.
What
The children will splash the water with their hands and sing a song of their choice. Then they will put their faces in the water and blow bubbles while humming the same song.
How
The instructor or parent will demonstrate how to splash the water with their hands and sing a song. Then they will show how to put their face in the water and blow bubbles while humming the same song. They will encourage the children to copy them and praise them for their efforts. The instructor or parent can also ask the children to guess what song they are humming when their face is in the water.
