Topics:
Music We Sang:
Title: Johnny on the Woodpile
About: This is a song meant to be sang with a partner/group. One person sings, the other(s) are the echo.
Words: Johnny on the Woodpile (echo)
Johnny on the fence (echo)
Johnny got a haircut (echo)
For fifteen cents (echo)
Title: Pitter Patter
About: This song helped us practice our light singing voice. We also got to use the rainstick!
Words: Pitter patter pitter patter
Listen to the rain
Pitter patter pitter patter
On my window pane.
Music Used for Beat Keeping:
Title: Engine, Engine
About: We used this song to keep the beat, and then we played a game by making a train with our classmates by using the beat in our feet!
Words: Engine engine number 9
Going down Chicago line
If the train goes off the track
Do you want your money back?
Title: Five Little Ladies
About: We practiced our beat keeping with a finger play!
Words: Five little ladies going for a walk
Five little ladies stopping for a talk
Along came five little gentlemen
They all danced together and that made ten!
Title: Spooky Loo
About: We used this song to keep the beat in our feet. We also had fun celebrating Halloween with this song! (It's a lot like the Hokey, Pokey!)
Words: Here we go Spooky Loo
Here we go Spooky Lie
Here we go Spooky Loo
All on a Halloween Night
You put your right hand in
You put your right hand out
You give your hand a shake, shake, shake
And turn yourself around
Music We Used For Instruments:
Title: I Have a Car
About: We took turns playing instruments such as the drums, triangles, finger cymbals, and sand blocks on sound words!
Words: I’m a little piece of tin
Nobody knows where I have been
Got four wheels and a running board
I’m a car, oh I’m a car!
Honk honk,
Rattle rattle,
Crash crash,
Beep beep (x4)
Responding to Music:
Title: Pumpkin, Pumpkin
About: We practiced our beat keeping as well as our facial expressions!
Words: Pumpkin, Pumpkin
Round and fat!
Turn into a Jack-o-Lantern
Just like that
Show me a Jack-o-Lantern that is... scary! (Change the emotion to see different faces!)
Title: 5 Little Pumpkins
About: We celebrated Halloween with this song. Pete The Cat also has this song in a story book!
Words: 5 Little Pumpkins sitting on a gate
The first one said, oh my it's getting late
The second one said, there's a chill in the air
The third one said, oh we don't care
The fourth one said let's run, let's run
The fifth one said I am ready for some fun!
The whoosh went the wind, and out went the lights
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
- Steady Beat
- Instrument Expectations/Playing
- Speaking vs. Singing
- Halloween
