Instructional Ideas

  • After becoming familiar with each activity, use them as brain breaks to allow scholars to get their wiggles out 
  • Share the resource with music and physical education teachers working with young children as it combines rhythm and movement 
  • Make the guide available when substitutes come to class as an easy time filler or redirection tool 

Classroom Considerations

  • This file is rather large; if you have trouble opening it, try loading it in another web browser
  • Different musical instruments are required for each lesson

Pros

  • Teacher directions are organized by the lesson's goals, equipment, instructions, and variations/adaptations
  • Verbal and nonverbal instruction are used throughout the activities 

Cons

  • None
