Welcome to the Kindergarten page! These lessons are designed to get your kindergartener singing, dancing and moving with familiar tunes from music class. Enjoy!
Come sing along with this fun song by The Beatles! Can you listen for the characters in the song? What were their names? Learn to do some motions as we sing!
Here's a beautiful and comforting song about those important people who watch over and take care of us. Learn to sing this one with some motions, then sing it for your family!
A few years ago, we celebrated Flag Day at UPES by singing "You're a Grand Old Flag" and holding up colored paper to show a USA flag! Try to sing along with this patriotic song, a song that celebrates our country!
Do you have any older friends at UPES? Can you find them in the video? And who is that dancing man dressed in red and standing in front of everyone? It's Mr. Beiter!
Here's a song about lighting the world up with kindness! Sing along with "This Little Light of Mine," then learn the motions that go with the song. Finally, get yourself a piece of paper, crayons, and a family member to help draw a candle, then decorate your candle while singing the song!
Don't forgot to fill out the GoogleForm to show your participation!
Sing and hum along with this gentle lullaby, "All Through the Night." Learn our motions that go along with the song, too!
I made up a new verse at the end of the video; do you like it? Do you have other ideas that we could sing about? Let me know in the Google Form response!
Sing along with one of our favorite rhyming songs from class! I brought some friends out to help us sing this one. You'll meet Sheldon, Beasley, Jennie and Juma, along with some of my instruments from home!
Then, use items around your house and names of your friends and family to sing in Willoughby Walloughby style (hint: put a "W" in front of the words and names!).
Sing along with this favorite about Tinga Layo, the donkey who doesn't do what it's asked! First, sing while doing our hand motions. Then, find yourself a ball of some kind (or a balled up pair of socks like I did!), and try to keep up with the actions!
Can you do it at super-speed? Good luck!
These are the days, more than ever, of washing hands to stop the spread of germs! This is our song about things that we DO want to spread in the world; things like Peace, Joy and Love.
Sing along with this happy song and then come up with your own things we could spread into the world to make it a better place!
Sing and move along with this Swahili song from Tanzania! The words of the song are the motions!
Simama = Stand up
Kaa = Sit down
Ruka = Jump
Tembea = Walk
Kimbia = Run
Sing and count along with our "Apple Tree" song! You'll need a piece of paper and a writing utensil to make a numbers page. Can you touch the ceiling when you jump for your apples?!
It can be hard to pick an outfit in the morning! Let's practice our rhymes with this silly song about Jenny Jenkins, who is having the hardest time finding the right clothes to wear.
"Foldy roldy tildy toldy seek a double use a cuzza roll..."
Let's design some fancy pants together! Get yourself a sheet a paper and something to draw with, then design your pants while we sing!
What did you draw onto your fancy pants?
Don't forget to design the shoes too!
Take a dance break and recharge that brain of yours with "Jim-along Josie!"
Can you teach your family the "Jim-along Josie" dance?
What are some other movements we could do with the song?
This song can be a workout! Try to keep up as you dance the "Killy Kranky!"
