Step outside in your backyard or near your favourite window. In this fun activity you will have a chance to practice your vocal skills while singing ‘O Canada.’
First practice singing ‘O Canada’ the way you would normally sing it. Now try changing it up in a way that makes it sound like a different version. Perhaps you can try to sing it louder or you may want to try singing it softly. Next, try to sing it as if you are an animal that lives in your community. Examples: tweet, twitter, cheep, chirp like when birds are making short, high sounds or shriek, cry like a very loud, piercing sound made by a bird or hoot like the deep sound made by an owl.

What did that feel like? Which version do you enjoy singing more? Which version was most challenging? When would an animal choose to sing loudly or softly? Why?
