In my opinion, utilising music games in the Foundation Phase classroom is an effective way to teach children music concepts. We already know that one of the best ways for children to learn is through play. Music games will cause them to be interested in learning about music and this will result in getting them to be engaged. It is important for the teacher to determine what kind of music the children are interested in, what they listen to at home or during break time. This will get the children to be more engaged. This is a better route for teaching children music as opposed to the rigid way of merely using words to explain music terms and concepts.

Music games also create a culture of inclusivity in the classroom. Firstly in a sense that all children get to be involved and they get to enjoy themselves, however this will depend on how the teacher facilitates the activities. Secondly with the diversity of songs presented in the classroom, children will realise that not only one type of music is important and therefore not one type of culture is more superior to the other. I say this because different kinds of music represent different types of cultures. The teacher can also introduce this concept to children by giving children the opportunity to introduce songs that they grew up listening to. In this way, all the learners will learn that their cultures and interests are important, and they will also learn to respect and accommodate cultures that are different to theirs.
