Wheel Decide | Kindergarten Songs - 0 views

  •  
    This is a great website called wheeldecide.com. It's one of the only "spinner" websites I've been able to find, and it works perfectly for when you've got some extra time with your younger elementary students. I just load up the songs and games they know, and I let one of the students spin the wheel and we sing and/or play whatever song/game comes up. They love it!

  • but this actually took about 25 minutes with both of my classes.

      Someone else's trial is my preparation
  • I said that we would be doing something kind of new in music the next few times we have class so I wanted to share with them about it today so that we could spend all of our time in centers the next two times. 
    • cheyroseb
       
      Builds anticipation :)
  • nstead of having all of the centers spread out around the perimeter of the room, which is where I put them when we were actually doing centers, I lined up all my centers at the front of the room under the board. 
    • cheyroseb
       
      Provides easy access

  • I emailed the list to their teacher and asked their teacher to line them up in that order (so the four students in group 1 are first, followed by group 2 and so on....) the next time they came to music.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Very smart idea.
  • played" each center one or two turns
    • cheyroseb
       
      Good for preparation
  • On my computer, I had the zip file that contained all of the PDFs for each file pulled up so that as I was going through them with the whole group, if I wanted them to be able to see something better, I could show them the PDF version instead of the  tiny cards I was holding for some of the centers.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Helps reinforce expectations for each center
  • I had directions for each center posted at each center in case they forgot or were absent when we went over the centers, but there seemed to be no issues with students knowing what to do at each center.
    • cheyroseb
       
      An ounce of preparation is worth a pound of cure.
  • they were all in the right order.
    • cheyroseb
       
      If the classroom teacher is aware of expectations, they can help support and enforce them
  • Do you have other ideas that I haven't thought of? Share below!
    • cheyroseb
       
      It would be good to have centers for each grade, or kits within center stations for each grade-- color coded
  • This is a really fun practice game for upper elementary and middle school! I also love this game for older beginners because it is an easy way to take those easy ta and titi rhythms and really make a more challenging game.
    • cheyroseb
       
      We used to do a game like this for theatre. I would love to use this as a beginning of the year activity for assessment, or a way to practice certain parts for a concert.
  • This could be done as an ostinato pattern that is repeated, or you could rotate through a set of cards for the students to play.
    • cheyroseb
       
      I like the idea of using cue cards with simple rhythmic ostinatos to accompany a cd track. You could introduce the ostinatos before the activity and practice by switching between cards. Once the kids feel comfortable, play the song and use the cue cards.
  • Use rhythm flashcards to create a song that the students know well. Have the students clap and read the rhythms and see if they can figure out the mystery song.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Would be awesome to use with 4/5th grade and disney songs.
  • Then students work to find the flashcards they need to match the rhythms of that song.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Could have students work in teams for a prize.
  • I Have, Who Has game cards
    • cheyroseb
       
      I LOVE i have/who has. It's a great way to reinforce aural skills and ensure that your students are paying attention

    The purpose of this website is to provide a young music student with resources to support music learning. The learning focuses mostly on recorder, pitch identification, and aural identification. Also, there are videos that are available for students to sing along. Overall the site is a kid-friendly that is easy to navigate. The website would be a good resource for recorder skills, aural skills and pitch identification. Elementary or beginning student would benefit from using the site.

Make Ear Training Fun with these 6 Games - Creative Music Education - 0 views

  •  
    This page lends itself as yet another valuable resource, especially for those whose weakness is teaching students to play by ear. In it, you will find six games that not only seek to refine our students' aural abilities but also serve to make a seemingly tedious task both motivating and fun; among this list are activities like rhythm chain, scale stops, and interval recognition--all of which can and should be implemented in K-12 music classrooms.

      I like this for older grades (4-5). They'll have more patience to wait for the circle to come all the way around.
  • Bee Bee Bumblebee, Can You Sing Your Name for Me
    • cheyroseb
       
      I love this as a first day of music activity for Kindergarten
  • Say Your Name
    • cheyroseb
       
      This game would also work for a composer or instrument unit. Students could have cards or nametags with the picture on the front and use that instead of their name.

  • Up the Ladder
    • cheyroseb
       
      This seems like a really fun game for 2nd and 3rd grade :) Older grades could even incorporate their own body percussion associated with their name.
  • There is a Class
    • cheyroseb
       
      LOVE THIS WOW
  • Who’s that Tapping At my Window
    • cheyroseb
       
      I would use this for 1st grade. It's simple enough to teach, but complex enough to assess where they are with certain concepts.
  •  
    An excellent set of first day of music activities to help teachers learn names and establish classroom routine.

      In my choirs I have always run sirens as a "roller coaster" game. They follow my magic wand up and down until they see the cut off sign
  • cholars act out the sounds that they would hear in different parts of the story.
    • cheyroseb
