The Floppy Sleep Game

Amazon.com For those parents who spin a lullaby CD every night to help their young ones ease into sleep, Patti Teel's The Floppy Sleep Game will be a welcome addition to the bedtime routine. Adamant that this is not a replacement for bedtime stories, Teel is equally convinced that Floppy Sleep will enhance story time with a mixture of song, narrative, and a shake-the-day-out methodology for relaxation. This 20-minute CD is, at first, altogether simple in musical terms, with Teel narrating along (and even coaching that kids should have their jammies on and teeth brushed before listening), then singing, then leading the charge through ambient ocean sounds and other soothing audio excursions. The gist of the game referenced in the CD's title is to have kids involve different parts of their bodies, mentioned in the running narrative, and feel the day's excitements leave the body as the story continues. Teel takes her process directly from yoga exercises, and even a casual adult listen triggers a certain focus on the body and an easing of its tensions. All the while, Floppy Sleep Game is very soft and tender, a sweet way to make the transition from day to night and enter the dream world from a position of relaxation. --Andrew Bartlett Product Description "The Floppy Sleep Game" is one of the first children's bedtime aides to use yoga and guided visualizations to lead little ones down a peaceful path to dreamland. Beautiful orchestrations and Teel's soothing voice create the perfect sleeping environment for children. The first track "The Flop Game" uses yoga techniques to flop and relax children's body parts while comical instrumentals accentuate their movements. On the second track "The Sound of Dreams," a friendly turtle invites a child to float downstream on its back while forest animals say goodnight from the shore. Children hear water flowing, crickets chirping, and frogs croaking. Review "Patti Teel's 'The Floppy Sleep Game' is specifically designed and produced compact disc to help children fall asleep by utilizing yoga techniques. Bedtime can be a fun time with Patti's tips for a successful nighttime retirement, complete with guided visualizations, relaxation techniques, original songs, and beautiful orchestration. -- The Midwest Book Review "The narrator's voice is soft, relaxing, and peaceful...There is little on this topic for children. This would be a useful addition for public libraries." -- School Library Journal, February 1, 2000 "When children...have a difficult time trying to get to sleep, try 'The Floppy Sleep Game'(Dream Flight Productions). Singer/narrator Patti Teel's gentle voice with soft music lulls the child securely and safely to deep slumber. Her voice is a gift, because it is comforting and soothing...not too syrupy." -- Audio World--Bennet Pomerantz About the Artist Patti Teel is an accomplished musician and performer who is well known for her interactive performances with children. The prestigious California Arts Council has recently chosen her as a "new touring artist." Patti came up with the idea for "The Floppy Sleep Game" when her young daughter regularly complained that she could not get to sleep. For years Patti practiced yoga, and she decided to use a variation of the relaxation done at the end of yoga classes to help her daughter sleep. This worked so well with her daughter and several preschool and kindergarten classes that she produced "The Floppy Sleep Game."
