  13. 6. 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. • Making up words is great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZUufewt05E

  14. 7. Add on new verses to familiar songs to enrich vocabulary and concepts. • Build on their current knowledge. • Children enjoy suggesting the substitutes. "Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes" Ankles, elbows, feet and seat, feet and seat, feet and seat. Ankles, elbows, feet, and seat Hair, hips, chin, and cheeks

  15. 8. PIGGY BACK SONGSUse familiar tunes as "frames" for songs with different words. Children will often make up verses themselves, spurring on literacy learning.

  16. PIGGGY BACK SONG ACTIVITY: • Change the song in some way that deals with the assigned topic. • 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on a Bed • (Change monkeys to “Fish”) • Bumble Bee Song • (Change “Bee” to an animal on the farm) • Happy Birthday to you • (sing about cleaning up) • Old McDonald had a farm • (sing about the zoo instead of the farm) • Row RowRow your boat • (sing about the car instead of a boat)

  17. D. TEACHING A SONG: • Practice the song and know it by heart. • Being enthusiastic, animated, and smiling is more important than having a good voice. • Catch their interest with a picture, object, or story. • Sing it from beginning to end. Allow them to participate with you while they listen. • Give the children something to listen for. • They can clap along while you sing it.

  18. TEACHING A SONG: 5. Teach the part that is repeated most often first and then teach other sections of the song. 6. Use musical instruments, pictures, props, costumes, or gestures to remind children of words. 7. Act out the song – Pretend to be or do what the music says - 5 speckled frogs on the log

  19. A chubby little snowmanHold 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 disbelief That hungry little bunny Rub your tummy.  Looking for his lunchShade your eyes, as if looking into the distance. Ate that snowman's carrot nose Make a duck beak hand and have it eat your carrot nose. Nibble, nibble, CRUNCH! Make the bunny eat the carrot with two small bites and a final big bite.

  20. GROUP MUSIC TIME Based on what you just learned, teach your song / music to your group and have them do it with you.

  21. CREATIVE MOVEMENT Elephant, melting ice cream, different music tempos, stuck in mud For Spider Walk Have 4 people link arms back to back and walk around like a spider while singing Itsy Bitsy Spider

  22. E. CREATIVE MOVEMENT • Children explore the way their body moves. - EGG MOVEMENTS (in a plastic egg are different movements) Touch your ear to your shoulder, keep a balloon in the air using only body parts, move both body parts at the same time • Opportunity for a child to pretend to be something else. • Never show them how to move. Let them figure it out. • Move like a bumblebee or an elephant • Develops coordination & control of movement. - Draw to music, streamers or scarves to music, Carpet skate - Stop when the music stops. - -Personal space and respect for others

  23. 4. Combines feeling rhythm with movement. • Have a Musical instrument parade 5. Communicates and Expresses their ideas • Children 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. 6. Learn how movement relates to space or science and math concepts. • Make yourself big, small, tall, short • Move around without touching anyone, pretend to be driving a car around the room, float around the room like a feather • Lift your leg in front of you, backwards, sideways. Step backwards

  24. FORCE: Energy (sudden/sustained) Weight (strong/light) Flow (free/bound) BODY: Parts Shapes Relationships Balance Science and Math Elements of Creative Movement

  25. SPACE: Place Self space/general space Size Big/small, far reach/near reach Level High/low Direction Forward/backward, right/left, up/down Pathway Curved, straight, zigzag TIME: Speed (fast slow), rhythm (pulse, pattern) MOVEMENT: Walk, run jump Bend, twist, stretch Parachute play 6 3 2 4 1 11

  26. Teaching creative movement: • Have lots of room • bare feet allows them to feel the movement. • Don’t 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 listen to the music dynamics. • Teach them to stop when the music stops. • Emphasize that to stop means not to move at all – not a muscle or a bone!

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