Shalvit Kids TV Magazine — Issue 18: Music & Dance

**Boom-boom, shake-shake — the drums have come to visit, and everybody can join the music in their own way!** 🥁💃

Welcome to **Issue 18 of the Shalvit Kids TV Magazine** — a giant **135-page** month of stories, songs and smiles, all about **MUSIC & DANCE!** Talking drums visit the compound and the cast learn rhythm by listening and copying. Lulu learns a brand-new dance one slow step at a time — with nobody laughing at mistakes. Miriam leads the dancing by the sea with her tambourine. And a shy little dancer discovers that swaying, clapping, dancing seated, or watching first are ALL real ways to join in. It is the print twin of the Shalvit Kids TV channel, built to the standard of the world's best children's magazines — with more pages than all of them.

🎵 **What's inside (135 pages!):**

- **The Day the Drums Came to Visit** — a 26-page book-length hero story: talking drums arrive at the compound, and Kiki, Bibo, Lulu and Pip learn rhythm the true way — *listen first, then copy!*

- **Lulu Dances a New Step** — an 18-page second story: one slow step at a time, kind practice, and friends who cheer — *"mistakes are how steps are born"*

- **Bible Story Time: Miriam's Song (Exodus 15)** — Miriam leads the women with tambourines after crossing the sea; a joyful, gentle telling where the song is the story — gratitude, music and dance, with God shown only as golden sunrise light

- **Feelings Corner: Shy to Dance** — joining in your own way: sway, clap, dance seated, or watch first — all okay, all full ways to join; nobody is ever dragged to the centre

- **Sing With Us** — our own Album 18 songs with full lyrics: **"The Kiki Dance"** (four toddler-safe moves), **"Dance and FREEZE!"** (with the space-bubble rule), ending calmly with **"Sway and Stretch"**

- **Learning Lab** — sounds high and low, loud and soft, fast and slow; how drums, shakers and flutes really make sound; rhythm patterns to clap — plus **Kiki Asks Why?** *"Why does a drum make a sound?"* answered truly and simply: the skin shakes the air!

- **Count & Find** — the music-party scene: count **7 drums** and **5 tambourines** (every count drawn in clear rows, numbered and verified)

- **Puzzle Pages** — two solver-verified mazes, spot-the-difference, rhythm patterns, dot-to-dot and matching — **with a full answer key at the back**

- **Jokes & Giggles** — clean music jokes plus a *That's Silly!* spot-what's-wrong page

- **Colour & Create** — colouring pages including **Colour the Instruments** (gangan, shekere, tambourine, shaker, xylophone, flute — all truly named) and a **My Favourite Song** drawing page

- **Make It** — a **bottle shaker** craft, step by step: a grown-up seals the bottle (safety stated clearly — the shaker stays sealed and babies don't play with it); children decorate and shake

- **Yummy Corner** — **music-party fruit skewers** under the full kitchen-safety lock (hands washed first, grown-ups cut, children thread soft fruit only onto blunt sticks with a grown-up — or arrange fruit on plates), in an ABAB pattern you can eat

- **Our Nigeria** — **the talking drum (gangan)**: it "talks" because Yoruba is a tone language and the drum copies the tones — true, and magical — with a *That's Cool!* wow-fact box

- **Parent Pages + Full Answer Key** — what your child learned, how to play the pages together, a gentle note for shy dancers, and every answer, cross-checked

🥁 **What your child will learn:**
