What to talk about

Talk to your kids

  • Families can talk about the link between TV and music. When you hear music on one of your favorite TV shows, does it make you want to buy that album? Does it make you want to watch a particular show when it has good music? Do you think music makes a TV show more interesting? Why?

  • The song "Let's Pretend" talks about the power of imagination. Do you like to pretend? What kinds of things do you pretend? What kinds of things do you pretend or imagine when you listen to music?
