Its time for bed - time to pick up our toys, take a bath time, brush our teeth and put our PJs on to end the day. But wait! What's that noise I hear under my bed? Where's my teddy bear? See how bedtime can really be a blast in this creative and cozy 20-minute musical play for little ones in Grades K-2. The all-in-one performance package includes a Teacher Book with piano/vocal arrangements, simple movement ideas and a helpful production guide. The included audio offers performance and accompaniment-only recordings with a melody instrument to help guide these young singers for a variety of rehearsal and performance options. Teach the songs by rote or, for additional reading challenge, use the reproducible & projectable song and lyric sheet PDFs also found on the enclosed disc.
The audio is accessed online using the unique code inside each book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.

Technological advancements shape and re-shape the way people communicate for work, leisure or learning and how they go about their day-to-day activities. Many praise technology for its ability to make things easier, but the other side of technology is that as it brings us closer together, it may also take away our ability to disconnect from our networks and relax. Increased demands on our time have forced us to blend our activities in order to get things done.
The pajama effect is the ability of those connected via digitally mediated communications, such as telecommuters and online learners, to blend their private and public lives while remaining highly productive as they work, play and learn online, hence thriving in a flexible environment that is physically detached and where distractions and interruptions abound. Such individuals may work in a more relaxed environment yet they are vulnerable to isolation and other challenges that emerge from being detached from the physical work, play, or learning space.
Despite the challenges of remaining connected and increased demands by employers and educational institutions, users crave increased mobility, higher network speeds and more flexibility. Companies around the globe continue to opt for telecommuting as a means to save, but also to increase productivity. The increase in telecommuting translates into more virtual teaming and extensive requirements for collaborating and communicating using technology.
Education continues to be affected by technological advancements as well. Whether for professional development, specialized training, K-12 online learning or higher education, the blending of learning and playing is more evident with technology. The same is for work, with more professions than ever before relying on virtual reality games for training purposes. Mobile learning technologies will play a key role in the future of learning and sophisticated collaboration tools will enable virtual teams to focus on outcomes. The blending of work, play and learning is inevitable, but manageable. This chapter explores how it influences our lives now and how it may look in the future.
There is no question that the Internet has blurred the boundaries of time, space and place over the last decade. Offices are becoming homes and homes are becoming offices. Interspersed throughout the workday are tweets, text messages and instant messages that keep us connected with family members and friends but are also often distractions. Bosses can reach from around the globe anytime of the day or night. Online teachers and students can stay in touch any time, anywhere. This also means it is more difficult to call it a day and getting away from work or school. The nine to five is no longer applicable and neither is the school day. Instead of computers becoming human, like the droids in science fiction, humans are becoming computerized. Trends indicate the increase of telecommuters for all industries and point to the rapid expansion of mobile learning for training and education. Others who work or study in a traditional physical space may find themselves working during personal time or simply playing during work time.
Each person takes a turn acting out words or phrases while everyone else tries to guess what they're doing. Charades can be made even more interesting by giving each person a category (like animals, movies, songs, or books) and having them act out words within that category.
This age-old game is perfect for those who love adventure. Everyone takes turns counting while one person hides; when the countdown ends, all players must search for the hidden person until they're found.
Each player takes turns spinning a bottle in the center of the room. Whichever direction it points when it stops spinning determines which player will answer their own self-created question or perform a silly task like singing or dancing.

Time for some serious showboating from your guests. Whether it's singing karaoke classics or showing off standup comedy impressions, there are endless possibilities when it comes to creating unique performances for one another.

Spice up the sleeping space by using some festive decorations and supplies like colorful streamers and balloons. You can even make a DIY movie screen for your film night or create a special welcome sign for each guest.
Crafting is a blast, but take it to a zany point with this slumber party activity: Toilet paper fashion show. A common feature of bridal showers, design a dress made of toilet paper and let everyone show off their creations. Perhaps a prize for the winner?
