Pre-K makes a rainstorm!

Pre-k has music for 20 minutes each week and I like to follow the classroom themes. This week students were learning about weather. First we watched a fun video about weather and added some movements. On the faster "precipitation rap" part we had a dance break!

Then we made a rainstorm together as a class by doing the following moves:

1) Rub hands

2) Snap fingers

3) Clap hands

4) Pat Legs

5) Play small drums (or stomp feet)

*Reverse the order to slow down the rainstorm!

We also had a special thunder making instrument and a rainstick. Sorry for the shaky video, I was trying to show the moves and play the rainstick while videotaping! :-)

Pre-K spooky voices

This week Pre-K will explore some October related activities. In the video below students use their spooky voices to make different sounds for the poem "On a dark and stormy night" from The Book of Pitch Exploration by Feierabend.
