Giustino This or That Rhythms: Back to School Edition

4. Apple Tree Game

First, perform.

Sing through the song as a class.

Then, play the Game

Have everyone turn into trees with a partner.
Then, make some trees "apples" so that you have enough apples to fit in each tree. (e.g. if there are 6 trees, there should be six students who are apples)
Play 6 rounds: each apple gets a chance to be an apple twice. After two turns, they trade with ONE tree person (they know how to do this).

5. Book

Read, "Your Name is a Song"
This is located on the small white bookcase.
