Description
Looking for great games to play in the music room for all ages? This awesome yes will provide you with a set of kid-favorite games!
Song games and dances are my favorites to use in the classroom. I think it helps the kids connect with what they are learning. That little ditty they sang but didn’t really do much with except sing 20 times and read the rhythm. Sure they can sing it.
But they won’t ask for it next year.
One of the most obvious ways to know you made a HUGE connection with your kids, is to hear them ask for it the week after, the next month, or even a year or two later!
But you still have concepts to teach. Me too.
This bundle includes a PDF for 15 classic folk song singing games, play parties, and children’s games to prepare, present, and practice concepts for each song using the Kodaly method. PDFs include teaching tools including icon notecards, rhythmic notecards, worksheets, and solfege ladders.
Rhythmic elements will be presented in Kodaly syllables, as well as technical names. New files will also have a slide with rhythmic elements presented without text so you may use the syllables you wish.
Includes Folk Song files for:
– Alabama Gal
– Apple Tree
– Black Snake
– Bow Wow Wow
– Cut the Cake
– Doggie Doggie
– Ducks and Geese
– Great Big House in New Orleans
– The King’s Land
– Let Us Chase the Squirrel
– Lucy Locket
– Our Old Sow
– Paw Paw Patch

I absolutely love these song packs! I have used them in interview demo lessons as well as permanent positions. They are great folk songs according to the Kodaly method and the visual representations and worksheets really bring the concepts home for the kids. The bundle is so worth it!

My colleagues and I are writing an entirely online curriculum. I will have all of these great activties and visuals to extend those lessons. I will also be able to share my screen during zoom lessons and interact with my students in that way. I’m looking forward to these materials. I had made some of my own and making more has been on my to-do list for years. Thank you for your indepth time consuming work. You have saved me SO MUCH TIME!
