6-7 game in the classroom

                                             

6-7 is a trend among children, so let's try a game about it!

The initial game is played like this: children stand in a circle and start counting τα παιδιά from 1-7: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Those two who say 6 and 7 play Rock-Paper-Scissor. The winner stays in the circle, the other sits down.  

Let's transform it to a music game: 

Option 1: We sing the notes from Do to Ti : Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti. La and Ti are 6-7. Children who sing La and Ti play Rock-Paper-Scissor to see who stays in the circle.  


Option 2: I created a short song with 7 notes. Each child sings one syllable. The last 2 syllables are 6-7.

You may create your own song with 7 notes choosing the notes you want to practice with your students!


- I found the game in the Newsletter of the following website:

which has interesting material and ideas about music teaching.

Enjoy!

ΝEW BOOK! The Crab in his Hole

Image
 Summer is over but we can keep its spirit up with a story! Meet a little Crab who loves adventures and plays with new friends. TPT link TES link                       Two fairy tales where our Crab meets other animals from the mainland and from the sea. He discovers noe things as he is open to new experiences.  The book can be read on its own by any teacher, parent or child. In each fairy tale children will also find an empty page to add an adventure of their own and draw it on the book. Μusic teachers may use this book to teach musical forms in early ages (K-3)  (Binary, Ternary, Rondo, Theme & Variations). The idea is that each adventure corresponds to a section of the music. This way children get an idea of form in music while listening to the music and dramatizing the story. The stories are accompanied by happy Greek traditional music specially recorded for the book by some of the most prominent sol...

NEW RECOURCE! Musical Forms for K-3, part 1

Image
  Look at the video to learn more about the resource Presentation and Worksheets to introduce Musical Forms to children from K-3. The idea of form is presented in a simple way through many images and examples. The presentation can be completed in one teaching hour and is ideal for substitute teachers too.  The basic idea of the 1st part is to recognise the ideas of Same , Similar & Different in music. Since forms are created when combining same, similar and contrasting ideas, its very important for everyone to have this crucial ability. Movement and play are very important in learning at these ages. Young children have to move and play listening to music and aurally recognise the changes or the repetitions between the parts of a musical work, even without knowing anything about forms and any other terminology. This has to become an essential part of our music lesson.  Adding to the experiential way to learn about forms, the 28 Worksheets deepen the understanding with ...
