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 humming it. 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 like a 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?

If you know a family member or friend from another country ask them to share the National anthem from their country. What are the similarities and differences between the three "anthems" - Canada, another country and the animal songs? Consider: pitch, timbre, is the song a partner song or sung alone?
