  • Sing when you are doing routine tasks.Children will pick up on the joyful atmosphere you are creating and also begin spontaneous singing as they move around the classroom. Remember that making up the words is fine.

  • PIGGY BACK SONGS Use familiar tunes as "frames" for songs with different words.Many children know the tune to: "Row, Row, Row Your Boat", "Mulberry Bush", "Frre Jacques", "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", B. Children will often make up verses themselves, spurring on literacy learning.

  • PIGGGY BACK SONG ACTIVITY: Group is given a copy of a song and a topic. Change the song in some way that deals with the assigned topic.Sample ideas:5 Little Monkeys Jumping on a Bed (Change monkeys to Fish)Ring Around the Rosies (Change All Fall Down to something about water)Bumble Bee Song (Change Bee to an animal on the farm)Happy Birthday to you (sing about cleaning up)The farmer in the Dell (sing about the weather)Row Row Row your boat (sing about the Zoo)- Shell Be Coming Round the mountain (can you climb like a monkey?)

    Divide into groups by giving out two copies of several well know tunes. They are to find the partner with the same song by humming the melody.

  • Sing songs that have movement in the words.Examples:"Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes","If You're Happy and You Know It","I'm a Little Teapot", "Itsy Bitsy Spider", "Ring Around the Rosy","Hokey Pokey","Wheels on the Bus"Old McDonald".

  • A Chubby Little Snowman(A Fingerplay)A chubby little snowman Hold your arms in a circle to make a fat belly . Had a carrot nose. Point your forefinger out from your nose.Along came a bunny. Make a bunny with your fingers. Make it hop. And what do you suppose? Turn palms upward and shrug in disbeliefThat hungry little bunny Rub your tummy.Looking for his lunch Shade your eyes, as if looking into the distance.Ate that snowman's carrot nose Make a bunny with one hand and a carrot with the other. Nibble, nibble, CRUNCH! Make the bunny eat the carrot with two small bites and a final big bite.Listen to this song. www.songsforteaching.com/hughhanley/achubbylittlesnowman.htm

  • Choose songs that everyone can act out together, rather than have to wait for a turn, as is the case with a song like "London Bridge".

  • Add on new verses to familiar songs to enrich vocabulary and concepts.

    "Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes" can have numerous substitute body parts, such as chest and stomach, or hips and thighs. Children enjoy suggesting the substitutes. Build on their knowledge.

  • Keep the rhythm instruments near at hand.sticks, drums, tambourinesfor children to latch onto when a song is brewing.

  • Rhythm Sticks Tap out your NameCreate a beat pattern and we repeat itTap out the beat as someone moves aroundFollow a teacher directed beat movementListen to a walking beat (slow), Listen to a jogging beat (faster), Pound for a jumping beat. Now have the kids listen to the beat and do the actions. Use a bell to signal freeze.Tap out a beat to a story (Click Clack Moo By: Doreen Cronin)Tap out a beat to a song (Sing Ring around the Rosies or Sally the Camel and tap a beat with it.)

  • Why Rhythm?

  • Model clapping and knee slapping to music-celebrate the beat!Some children may feel shy about singing, but will heartily drum or clap.

  • Large Group Music Time Small Group Music Center Placed away from noisy and active play areas.Wide variety of musical instruments for the children to use and explore.Supplies to create their own musical instruments.Carpeted / rug to sit on and move around on.Tape recorders / CD players / Microphones Headphones, Tapes/CDsSupplies for the children to do creative movement to the music.Streamers, scarves, paper plates, costumes, feathers

  • ELEMENTS OF MUSIC:RHYTHMClap, clap different sequencesSOUND / TONESounds of different instruments, sound of voiceMELODYMove hand up and down with notesHARMONYIdentify notes that dont sound rightDYNAMICSSoft, loudTEMPO/ BEATHow fast & slow

  • TEACHING A SONG:Practice the song and know it by heartBeing enthusiastic is more important than having a good voice. Animated and smile.Catch their interest with a picture, object, or story. Relate it to life in a story.Sing it from beginning to end. Allow them to participate with you while the listen.Give the children something to listen for.They can clap along while you sing it a second timeUse musical instruments, pictures, props, costumes, or gestures to remind children of words.Teach the part that is repeated most often first and then teach other sections of the song.

  • Create Listening PicturesDraw or cut and color pictures to an 8x11 poster to teach listening skills for music time:Soft/LoudBoys/girls/everybodyFast/slow

  • Preschool PlaylistGo through the variety of songs and create a playlist of your top ten playlist songs

  • Other MUSIC ideas to not Frogget:Act out the song Pretend to be or do what the music says (Horses, Rabbits, etc.)Guessing games (Play Name That Tune guess the sing with first 3-5 notes)Let them choose the songs to singVary the way you sing, listen to, and move Sing 5 speckled Frogs in an opera voice, with a country twang, fast, like an old person without teeth, ..

  • CREATIVE MOVEMENTChildren explore the way their body movesOpportunity for a child to pretend to be something else EGG MOVEMENTS (in a plastic egg are different movements)It teaches body awareness, and what their body can do.Develops coordination & control of movement.Touch your ear to your shoulder, keep a balloon in the air using only body parts, move both body parts at the same timeCombines feeling rhythm with movementDraw to music, streamers or scarves to music, Carpet skateHave a Musical instrument paradeShake Bells to Twinkle Twinkle and ring a xylophone in between lines

    Blow up your balloon!

  • Fast paced music.Country music.Feather or balloon float

  • Communicates and Expresses their ideasChildren move much better than they speak.It simultaneously involves the inner being and the physical body.Move as if you were carrying a heavy box, walk like a giant, run like an animal, be an ice cream cone melting in the summer, make an interesting shape with your body. Learn how movement is related to spaceMake yourself big, small, tall, shortMove around without touching anyone, pretend to be driving a car around the room, float around the room lie a featherLift your leg in front of you, backwards, sideways. Step backwards

    Have 4 people link arms back to back and walk around like a spider while singing Eensy Weensy Spider

  • Teaching CREATIVE MOVEMENT:Have lots of room, bare feet allows them to feel the movement.Children love the familiar & repetition.Dont show them how. It restricts creativity.Say, Use your whole self.Move how it sounds or makes you feel.Can you. . . . ? Follow me!Encourage each child to do it in a different way.Teach about personal space (bubbles pop if they are bumped)Teach them how to stop when the music stops:Emphasize that to stop means not to move at all not a muscle or a bone!Encourage children to listen carefully or else they wont know when to stop.

  • Blow bubbles and have them imagine a bubble around their body.Each bubble should be as wide as their outstretched arms and as tall as they are.Place children far enough apart so that no one is touching their bubble.Ask one child to move among the children, being careful not to break or touch anyones bubble.Add more children until all children are moving and no one is breaking anyone elses bubble.

  • Elements of Creative MovementFORCE:Energy (sudden/sustained)Weight (strong/light)Flow (free/bound)

    BODY:PartsShapesRelationshipsBalance

  • SPACE: Place Self space/general spaceSize Big/small, far reach/near reachLevel High/lowDirection Forward/backward, right/left, up/downPathway Curved, straight, zigzagTIME:Speed (fast slow), rhythm (pulse, pattern)

    MOVEMENT:Walk, run jumpBend, twist, stretchParachute play
