A few weeks ago, I shared a “What to Teach When” post for Younger Elementary (read it here, in case you missed it!) Today, I’m sharing the same type of post for Older Elementary singers. Here is a general list of musical skills and concepts you can teach to children in 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, and 5th Grade. Use this chart as a point of reference in your teaching, an outline of what to teach when, and a guide to what children at different ages may be capable of, developmentally and musically.

Most of these are sung in unison, without accompaniment. Also, since movement activities are difficult to describe in writing, I've included video demonstrations for most of these. Enjoy!
