Hi Kindergarten Families!

Since we can’t be with you today for music class, here are some songs and activities that are similar to what we would work on in music class. Feel free to go through these activities in any order or follow the order listed below.

You should spend about 20 minutes on this music. Have fun!

Step 1 - We want to make sure we warm-up our singing voices. Use your singing voice to repeat after Mrs. Kapustka plays a pattern using the slide whistle.

Step 2 - Listen to the song “Tongo.” Then sing the echoes on the song “Tongo.” This is a Polynesian song. The words are tricky, so just try your best! If the words are too tricky to sing, you can repeat the echoes using your humming voice.

Step 3 - Listen to the song “BINGO.” Then sing the song “BINGO.”

Step 4 - Listen to the song “These Are Mother’s Knives and Forks.” Then sing the song “These Are Mother’s Knives and Forks.”

Step 5 - Listen to the song “The Horse Stood Round” and keep the steady beat the different ways that the song mentions (foot, other foot, changing feet, both feet, one foot). Then sing the song “The Horse Stood Round” and keep the steady beat.

Step 6 - Keep the steady beat while listening to the song “The Nutcracker, Op. 71: Overture.” How many different ways can you keep the steady beat?

Step 7 - Listen to the song story “There’s a Hole in the Bucket.”
