Musical Hula Hoops
For this fun game we usually use a hula hoop but if you don't have a hula hoop no problem! Make a circle on the floor with a skipping rope or a string or piece of rope. You are going to jump in and out of the circle to the beat of the music. There are two musical examples below and also try doing this to one of your one favorite songs.
Dance of the Little Swans - Tchikovsky
Plink, Plank, Plunk - Anderson
My Favorite song
Choose your favorite song (or one of your favorite songs). Write the name of the song on a piece of paper. Draw a picture of what you hear in the song and/or how it makes you feel or what it reminds you of. Ask a grownup for help to scan your picture (or take a picture of it) and email it to me. kristacroke@nlesd.ca

Draw What you Hear!
Before you begin, find some paper and crayons (leads or markers are also fine). Use the links above and listen to two different music examples. While you are listening, draw what you hear! (Here's some tips: with slower music, you might draw long, loping lines in a dark color. With a faster tune, shorter, sharper angles using a brighter shade. There's no wrong answer here, just what you feel).
