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")
