      Why It Works

      The learning connection

      Engaging in a relay format increases excitement and reduces anxiety about speaking. Vygotsky's scaffolding principle supports learning through social interaction, allowing children to collaborate and learn from peers, making rhyme creation both a challenge and a joy.
