Ah, Fall... the leaves are changing colors, the air is getting cooler, the coffees are infused with pumpkin spice... It's a nice time of year. I'm linking up with my blog tribe to share some of my favorite fall lessons! I am lucky enough to teach in a school that is very pro-Halloween. We have a huge costume parade and every class throws a party. It's easily one of my favorite days of the school year. So I have lots of fun doing Halloween songs along with other seasonal songs this time of year. I'll share some great things I've found to do with each grade level... Pre-K Our Pre-K students just learned the letter "M" in their classroom, so I decided to reinforce that literacy component with a fun movement activity called, "Monsters Stomp Around the House." This is a piggyback song to the tune of, "The Ants Go Marching" which we are going to be learning later in the year. Now that they've heard the melody in this song, it should be more familiar to them when we get to it! Kindergarten I learned this song in college and love doing it with my primaries: To trace the melodic contour, I use foam leaves that I bought at a craft store a few years ago. You could also use scarves or paper cutouts for the same effect. 1st Grade Another favorite song that I learned in college is a piggyback song to the tune of "The Muffin Man." This one is called "The Pumpkin Child." Oh, do you know the pumpkin child? The pumpkin child, the pumpkin child! Do you know the pumpkin child Who goes to [ school name]? I start the lesson by telling my students a story of a day when a little pumpkin came to the school and he went to different teachers in the building and asked them if they knew the pumpkin child. Each time I mention a new teacher, we sing the song again. By the time I've finished the story, they've had at least six or seven repetitions of the song and can sing it independently. Then we play a beat passing game and pass a pumpkin around the circle. Whoever the pumpkin lands on is the pumpkin child! I let the pumpkin child pick a movement (pat, clap, snap, etc.) for us to use to keep the steady beat. 2nd Grade I LOVE the book "The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything" But do you know what I love even more than the book? This great video that has the story set to a song! I had my students sing along and then act out each part. After singing the song, I bring out the book and we add instruments for each part as well. 3rd-5th Grade For my intermediate students, I've found a couple of fun activities on Pinterest that I use... The kids love reading the notation for Ghost of John in this shape! And we sing it in a two or three part round. I'm excited to try this cup passing game next week. I also do a contest with The Addams Family Song... since music class is a place where we practice performing and stage presence, I challenge them to sing the song like Wednesday Addams: with a frown the whole time and NO SMILING. There is nothing funnier than watching a bunch of kids try their hardest NOT to smile!!! I hope you enjoy these Falloween (as my second graders called it) activities.

I'm a Mean Old Witch With a HAT! Halloween! (Both songs) There's No Such Thing as a Witch This week we have a primary act...
Ha, sorry! I learned this song in elementary school to the tune of "Danse Macabre" and it's stuck with me ever since. Here's the video from YouTube that I like to use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3Eg8UifzmI Anyways, I thought I'd share some Halloween activities my classes have been doing. In the Hall of the Mountain King - Grieg This is the first year I've really delved into Grieg. I love the music and the melody really sticks in the kids' heads! I start introducing it in Kindergarten and 1st grade with Eric Litwin's (Pete the Cat!!!) song from The Learning Groove. It takes the melody and puts in words like "I can shake my shaker egg and sneak around the room." It's fun to add egg shakers and a little movement once the students have learned the melody. As they get older, I show my intermediate students a short cartoon of the story. It's only about 5 minutes, but also adds in the "Morning Mood" music, which many of the students recognize. In the future, I'd like to add a literature connection. I've seen some great picture books online, but haven't picked one up yet. Soon! I also add rhythm sticks to the main theme, with the help of Malinda Phillips' great active listening resource! Check it out - it's free :) From there, we move on to actually feeling the beat, tempo and dynamic changes in the music. If you follow my blog, you know I LOVE Artie Almeida. She has a wonderful guiro and kickball lesson for this piece. I tried it with my third graders last week and we had so much fun! I used basketballs because we don't have enough kickballs and it still worked out just fine. Here are some pictures from my students engaging in the music: It was Character Counts week, so they're all dressed up in the careers they'd like to have.The basketball coach had to come get the balls for practice at the end of the day, but we had a good time while it lasted. Artie's lessons are truly wonderful resources. I encourage you to check out her videos on YouTube and purchase this resource. You won't regret it! Some other activities we are doing this week are: singing the story "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat!" with melody from Kristin Lukow Halloween melody patterns from Aileen Miracle's 13 Nights freebie Halloween vocal explorations and "create your own" template from Amy Abbott Witch Witch (so-mi activity) and game from The Yellow Brick Road Spooky Music listening & rating from Music with Sara Bibee (this one is a fun activity for the older kids!) The last game we are playing is a favorite of my primary students! I discovered it on Pinterest last year and the students just love it. I can't seem to find the right recording for it, though. There is a faster version and a Denise Gagne version that has a different melody. I kind of plunked it out on my own and adapt it to my student's singing ability. Here's the video of the song I use and the game: It's really fun and a great way to reinforce steady beat. What Halloween or seasonal activities are you doing this week with your students?

Need a last minute Halloween game for your class party? This game can be adapted for kids of ALL ages. Click here for a free printable ghost template. How to Play Musical Ghosts & Ghost Cupcake Walk Simply print out several ghost templates on cardstock, one for each child playing the game. Write a number on each ghost. Tape the ghosts to the floor in a circle. Play some Halloween music while the children walk around the ghosts. When the music stops, the children step on a ghost. Pick a number. The child standing on that number gets a prize. Repeat. (Laminate your ghosts for years of use). This game works great for older children too. Use it as a cupcake walk. Instead of writing numbers on the ghosts, write a math problem. Draw out the answer to a problem when the music stops. The children then have to figure out if the math problem they are standing on is a match to the answer drawn. If they get it right they get a cupcake. Repeat. This is a fun math game any time of year! Simple Preparation: Cut out your ghosts. Write numbers or math problems on them. Laminate. Make your calling cards with the same numbers or answers to the math problems. Place them in a basket or a box to draw from. The kids love these games!! Have fun!

Welcome to Singing Time!!!! Our Primary songs to sing are on the board! What? ... You can't see them??? In Thessalonians chapters 1,4 and 5 it talks about "If I am faithful and WATCHFUL, I will be prepared or the Savior's Second Coming". Ask/tell the children what it means to be WATCHFUL for Jesus's Second Coming. Simply discuss what we should do to be prepared to meet Jesus again. Now, if you're WATCHFUL, you will be able to see the Primary Songs: Before Primary, write the names of the songs you'd like to sing on white pieces of paper - with a special pen of course! I bought mine HERE from Amazon. Call up a child to pick a paper and use the SPECIAL LIGHT to reveal the song title. Sing that song. (This may help to have the lights off, but it works just fine with them on) and (sorry, it's really hard to get a good picture of this, I tried my best, I promise!) At the end, remind the children to be WATCHFUL and prepared for the Lord's Second Coming. -iheartprimarymusic
