Students can take turns coming up and guiding this pirate vocal exploration activity. After each student takes a turn, the whole class should take the same turn after the student models.
You do not need to go through this whole file. You can go through enough that at least half of the class gets a turn.
Listen to the above activity--students may move around the room in "bubble spaces"
Students should stay away from instruments
Students sit in a circle
While singing, they pass the blue/purple pumpkin or blow up jack o lantern pumpkin around to the beat.
Once they get out they first turn into the beat conductor and point to the pumpkins below while they sing.
Then, they can sit on the small carpet and when enough students make a second circle they can play for fun with the second pumpkin or watch the original circle.
