**BABYS (0-1) um 15.30Uhr** Musikalische Früherziehung für Babys (im Alter von 0 bis 1) Musik, Melodie, Rhythmus, Klang und Geräusche spielen schon von Geburt an eine wichtige Rolle. Gemeinsames Musizieren ist für Babys "Nahrung" für Körper, Seele und Geist. Deswegen möchten wir zusammen mit Eltern (oder Bezugspersonen) und ihren Babys singen, musizieren, Klänge erleben sowie tanzen und viel Freude mit Kniereiterliedern, Wiegenliedern, aber auch Lieder für die eigene Körpererfahrung haben. Zum Tanzen singen und hören wir Bewegungssongs oder auch klassische Stücke. Die Babys probieren sich während Klanggeschichten mit den Instrumenten, die im offenen Wohnzimmer zur Verfügung stehen, aus. **KLEINKINDER (1-3) um 16.20Uhr** Kleinkinder (1-3) mit ihren Eltern sind herzlich eingeladen ins Offene Wohnzimmer zum gemeinsamen Singen und Musizieren!

Das Interesse der Kinder an allem was klingt und singt wollen wir in unserem Musikkurs aufgreifen. Dabei geht es um die kreative Entdeckung der Klänge und Töne, die Förderung der eigenen Stimme und das Erleben von Rhythmus und Bewegung. Die Instrumente, die uns im offenen Wohnzimmer zur Verfügung stehen, sollen die Kinder mitunter kennen- und spielen lernen. In familiärer Atmosphäre möchten wir den Kinder in diesem Kurs ein Grundverständnis von Musik vermittelt, nicht aber das konkrete Noten lesen wie es bspw. im Klaviereinzelunterricht oder in der Schule der Fall sein kann. Im Vordergrund stehen Spiel und Spaß am Musizieren. Für alle Kurse gilt: \*\*\* Keine Anmeldung erforderlich. \*\*\* Teilnahme auf Spendenbasis Gesa ist Musikerin, Sängerin, Gesangspädagogin und zertifizierte Singleiterin für Heilsames Singen.

Unser erstes Treffen ist ein entspannter Start für alle, die Deutsch wirklich sprechen wollen. Wir lernen uns kennen, kommen ins Gespräch und üben Deutsch ohne Druck, Schritt für Schritt — mit einfachen Aufgaben, Spielen und echten Gesprächssituationen. Was euch erwartet: * lockeres Kennenlernen & Icebreaker * einfache Dialog- und Gesprächsübungen in Paaren oder kleinen Gruppen * spielerische Aufgaben (z. B. Spiele, kreative Aufgaben) * reale Alltagssituationen zum Diskutieren und Lösen * Raum, um eigene Erfahrungen zu teilen — freiwillig und respektvoll. Der Fokus liegt nicht auf Perfektion, sondern auf Sprechen, Ausprobieren und gegenseitiger Unterstützung. Fehler sind willkommen — sie gehören zum Lernen dazu 😊

***THERE ARE BIG SCREENS FOR THE START OF THE WINTER OLYMPICS*** 👍 After being cooped up all week with this snow and cold, it’s a great time to get up out of the house and join us for a fun time at the Pint House!! **Come anytime during 4-8. Stay as long as you want. No set time*** **WE’RE NOW IN A BIGGER AREA!** It’s a chance to meet people in our age group regardless if you’re in your fifties, sixties or seventies!

**Caller: Dan Kappus** **Band: Trillium** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
