Use flannel board songs to teach children about taking turns. Think about songs your children know and change the words to make them about taking turns such as: Humpty Dumpty "could" be put back together again, with every one putting a piece of his shell back where it belongs on the flannel board. "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" could be about children taking turns putting stars on the flannel board.
Flannel boards can be designed to teach about sharing. One way to do this is to give some children a piece for a flannel board song. When it comes time to add the piece to the board, the child gives his piece to another child to put on the board. An example is to give some children bags of wool to use with the "Baa, Baa Black Sheep" song. When it is time to add the bags of wool, the children with the bags share them with other children who put them on the board.
Teaching children to recognize their feelings is something that can be done creatively with a flannel board and songs. Having faces with different emotions for children to put on a flannel board while different songs are sung is a way to teach about feelings. Songs like these from the Charles County Public Library are a place to start (see Resources): "I've Been Feeling Really Grumpy," "I've Got that Happy Feeling," "If You're Ever Feeling Grouchy," "If You're Lazy and You Know It," "I'm a Lazy Teapot" and "Smiley Feeling."
