First Grade Channel

If first graders want to try our regular music activities they are:

• Moving to music (we use classical music but you can search for "Just Dance" on youtube)
• Voice warmup (sing like a slide whistle or follow the pitch of squiggly lines)
• Echo song (like "Down by the Bay" or "The Green Grass Grew")
• Simple song (like "Mary Had a Little ___" [students make up their own ending for animals])
• Singingland (sing like an animal from singing land - cow, owl, whale, etc)
• Beat motion (put on some music and tap the beat on your body)
• Action Song (like "Wake Up, You Sleepyheads!")
• Movement Exploration (like "skating" with paper plates or mirroring a partner)
• Song story (like "On Top of Spaghetti" or "The Tailor and the Mouse")
