What parent isn’t looking for a new trick to help with bedtime? Tired of the same old lullaby? Can’t stomach one more rendition of Rock-a-Bye Baby or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? Well, here is a fun alternative to shake up the bedtime routine.
Pixelkin, an organization dedicated to engaging, informing and connecting families through video games, has suggested several alternative lullaby tunes which also happen to be videogame songs. What many people don’t realize is that videogames tend turn to elaborate orchestra pieces or large choirs for their music – both which provide soothing background music, perfect for bedtime. Suggested songs from their post includes:
- “Baba Yetu” from the videogame Civilization IV (this song also happens to be the first-ever video game track to win a Grammy!)
- “Dreamer” from the videogame Chrono Cross.
- “Skylark” from the videogame Endless Legend
So the next time you’re searching for a way to mix-up bedtime, try introducing some of these videogame songs for your lullaby music. And, turn to Pixelkin for additional resources – from videogames reviews to the latest news and trends in gaming, they strive to be a resource for families and family gaming.
