Guitar/Ukulele Tideo (Ukulele) Favorite Movement/ Dance (Parachute, Stretchy Ring, Scarves) Silly Sam & Shaker Songs Silly Sam Shake And Stop: Shake during the song and strike a silly pose on the word stop. Shaker Eggs Snake Puppet [] Guitar/Ukulele or [] Favorite Solo Singing Turkey Feathers Put up the felt turkey body and see if they can guess who this is and what problem he is having. Explain that he is bare and shouldn t go outside like this. Sing the chorus of the song with everyone tapping the steady beat on their legs. Have them close their eyes for a big surprise and put a feather behind each child. Once they have the feathers, start by singing your color first to show them how to sing and put the feather on the turkey. Several children sing their color before going back to the song. This is a fun minor song that is easy to accompany on the guitar. Turkey Felts Felt Board Guitar Favorite Movement/ Dance Cocoa Songs: Five Little Jingle Bells Show the horse and sleigh picture, pointing out the bells. Sing the song, stopping before the last note of each phrase for the children to sing. Bring attention to the correct pitch. Give everyone jingle bells. Bring out the puppet and say, We are going on a sleigh ride with Cocoa. Hold a rhythm stick horizontally, with 5 bells hanging from it. Cocoa holds one end of the stick. Sing One little jingle bell fell in the snow and drop one of the bells after the word snow. Have the kids practice dropping their own bells and picking them back up. During the chorus everyone follows Cocoa, galloping in a circle. Perform with the recording. On the last verse, the children return their bells to Cocoa s stick. TIP: The teacher can have a little bag for each bell she drops. Horse & Sleigh Picture Bells Horse Puppet Stick Simply Music Rhapsody: Lessons 3140 Licensed to Simply Music. All rights reserved.

Give suggestions if needed, such as tap the floor, clap hands, tap head, tap chest, wave arms, roll arms, etc. Have other children take a turn being Matilda with all imitating their movement. For the chorus have the students perform the monkey like gestures in rhythm; bow down low with hands under arms for ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh and wave arms above head for ahahah, just like a gorilla.
