What can I say, I'm a teacher that LOVES to incorporate "holiday" themes WHEN it supports my curriculum. My first graders are preparing so-mi and we will **hopefully be presenting so-mi before Valentine's day. This is one of my favorite songs. . . and one of the things I love about it is it's not Valentine's Day specific. You can really use it anytime of year but with passing out Valentines this song works well. Here it is: Here's how we play it: Formation: seated circle, with one student as the “messenger” Action: The “messenger” walks around the circle as the song is sung, carrying a bag or basket that contains envelope. (Inside the envelopes are rhythmic or melodic patterns.) The person that the “messenger” is behind at the end of the song receives a “letter,” which they read to the class. I currently use handwritten cards and wanted to re-do them on the computer so they looked nicer. I'm a little obsessive so of course I started thinking of other games that could use these cards and how I could use them across more grade levels. Soooooooooooo I ended up creating a file of cards with 8 rhythms of each rhythmic element written in stick notation both with and without note heads. Here is my "key" to the file: Here are some sample cards: I numbered the sets and within the sets are 8 letters. In other words, there are 8 different rhythms for each rhythmic set. For the Messenger Song game I will use cards from sets 1-4 for my first grades: they know ta, ti-ti and ta-rest. It does take a long time to sing the song and for each student to get a "letter" so often times part of the class will get a letter in one lesson and the other will get one in the next lesson. An extension activity that I'm going to do with it is to have the students match the stick notation with note-heads to the stick notation without note-heads. That is, each student would be handed a rhythm card. They must find the other person in the class that has the matching card. Here are some other games to play with these cards: "Clap What You Don't See": Four cards are placed on the board. The students begin by reading each of the cards individually. They then read the cards in progression: card 1, card 2, card 3, card 4. After reading through the cards a couple times, the teacher turns one of the cards around. The students clap all four cards, including the one that they don’t see. The teacher turns another card around and the students read all four cards, even the two they can’t see. This progresses until all cards are turned around. If the students are very successful at this, more cards can be added. "Music Four-Square": This is a great option when using centers. It requires 4 players and is set up in a traditional 4-square court (but can be made smaller to accommodate your classroom space. Each square is assigned a rhythm. The player in box 1 begins and says someone else’s rhythm before bouncing the ball to them. That player then reads/says someone else’s pattern and bounces the ball to them. If an error is made, the person that read the card incorrectly goes to box 4 and all players in boxes lower than that person move up a box. "Mail Game": All students are given an envelope. Within that envelope are all 8 cards of that specific set. For example, each students’ envelope would contain cards 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, 1-D, 1-E, 1-F, 1-G and 1-H. The teacher would call a card. All students must find the card that matches the pattern that the teacher performed. The students turn that card over until everyone has chosen a card. The teacher will show the students the correct card. If their card matches, they get to put it back in their envelope. If their card does not match they must put it back on the floor. The goal is to be one of the first people to get all the cards back into their envelope. ** There are many opportunities for differentiation in this game: the teacher could clap and say the rhythm and students must find the card; the teacher would ONLY clap the rhythm and the students must find the card; the teacher would sing a song fragment that matches the rhythm of the card and the students must find the card; the teacher would play the rhythm on an instrument and the students must find the card; a student could lead the game and be in charge of calling the cards. ** multiple students will get all their cards into the envelope at the same time. This it not that “competitive” of game but is used more for assessment. ** the cards get easily mixed up in this game. Have the students make sure they have all the LETTERS in their set and only have one of each of those letters, before handing their “mail” back into you. The possibilities with flashcards are really endless!!! I'd love to hear some of your ideas! If you're interested in the cards above, you can find them at my Teachers Pay Teachers store. Also, don't forget that beginning in February I will be giving away a "Monthly Freebie" to all my Teachers Pay Teachers followers, so please follow me on there to get those coming free files! :)

I started back to school this past week with my kids on Tuesday. I had such a great first week and I am so excited to be back making music with them. We spent our first few days going over music room rules and procedures (click here to see rules post), emergency drills, and jumped right into making music. Can I just say that I LOVE pinterest! I found so many great ideas for back to school games through Pinterest as well as from Susan during Level 3. I thought I would share some of the really fun ones that the students enjoyed our first few days back: "Up The Ladder" is a great game for learning the names of your new students. "Down, Down Baby" is from the Amidons. SO FUN! Apparently this is a favorite, because it's being sung on the bus! Hickety Pickety Bumblebee is a fun one to use with K/1. In first grade you could review four voices with "can you sing (whisper, call, speak) your name to me". With kindergarten, it might be a bit intimidating to ask them to sing their name to you on day 1 of music, but let's be honest we are still learning all their names several weeks into the school year. Pull this out with them a little bit later (maybe after you have presented the four voices) and do this then. Mamalama: I learned this in Level 3, and we take it a bit faster than in this video, but it is SO FUN! I even had a student get the last part after just a few listenings. CRAZY! What are some of your favorite first day songs and activities? Still looking for ways to set up and decorate your room? This music room decor catalog will give you lots of idea, plus a back to school tip on each page!

I had done a few different centers in the past, mostly with my upper grades, and not very well thought out. This year though, one of my personal goals was to incorporate centers in a way that was well-planned, gave students lots of ways to practice a concept, and gave me more than one way to assess students. I'll have another blog post coming soon about the centers I did, or you can see a video of them on my Facebook page. Today though I want to talk about how to prepare your students for centers in the music room. Before really diving in to centers this year, I talked to some classroom teachers to learn more about how centers worked in their rooms. Each person I talked to said, take the time to go over each center with the whole group before ever dividing the class for centers. Since I don't have as much time as a classroom teacher (my classes are 30 minutes and are back to back), I decided that instead of trying to cram it into the beginning of a class period and then starting centers that day, I would take a class period to discuss all my centers. So I'm going to share with you how that day went. Since this was my first time doing centers at my new school with these students, I had no idea how long it would take to explain all of the centers and how everything would work. I figured if I have lots of extra time, we will play some singing games that I pulled patterns from for these centers, but this actually took about 25 minutes with both of my classes. I brought my classes in and had them go to their assigned seats in front of the board. 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. Instead 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. 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. We walked through all of the centers in order. I read through the directions and we "played" each center one or two turns. For some centers I would have a small group of students come up and be the demonstration group as the class watched. I asked if there were any questions about each center before moving on to the next one. My students knew that they needed to ask any questions they had on this day so that they wouldn't come up asking me questions on the actual center days. The students were really interested and engaged the whole time. I think there was a little bit of mystery to it, like "OOO, I wonder what is going to be at the next center" or "I wonder what those manipulatives are going to be for" and that kept them really focused on what we were doing. Students asked good clarifying questions about the individual centers. They also asked about their groups. I have about 28 kids in each class and set up 8 centers. Most of my groups had 4 students in a group, some had 3. I assigned all groups by typing up a list. 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. I also had her double check my groups to see if there would be any issues that I maybe hadn't foreseen. This was a really good idea because the next time they came to music, I met them in the hallway and they were all in the right order. I had the centers so that center 1 was closest to the door and then they went in a circle around the perimeter of the music room, so as the students followed me in, I basically dropped off four at a time in the order they were in at each center as we went around the room and I was with the last 3 or 4 students at the "teacher center", center 8. I didn't have to waist any time putting kids in order or reviewing directions for any of the centers. 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. I only had one student come up to me the entire two days of doing centers and it was because of an issue with a group member, so I think that is pretty darn good for our first time! I hope this gives you maybe a new idea about how to prepare your students for centers so that they feel set up to succeed at each one without needing to ask questions during centers. I feel like taking that day to go over them at a relaxed pace, sending the centers groups to the teacher, and having students come to music on centers day already in order really helped everything to go smoothly. Do you have other ideas that I haven't thought of? Share below! Wanting to take the guesswork out of creating centers? Here are centers sets I've created and used with my classes:
