4 21 Lesson Plan 21, Cont. Activity Title Comments Orff Instruments in C Other Percussion Pass the Heart Vocabulary: Metallophone Xylophone Glockenspiel Use a transition song to make a circle. Children should be seated closely with knees almost touching. Play a drum beat as the children pass the heart. Explain that they need to keep passing the heart to the beat without dropping or throwing it, as if it s expensive glass. Review the names of the Orff and percussion instruments you will use. Review rules if necessary. Whoever holds the heart when the song ends sings the instrument they will play. They sing the descending pitches so, fa, mi, re, do using the words I will play the. The singer now plays the beat on the big F and small C as the passing game continues. The game ends once all children are playing an instrument. If the next soloist wants to play an instrument that another child is playing, both children will sing a solo. This adds to the fun since the children don t know if they will have to move to another instrument. It also provides more solo singing. After the last child sings their solo, ask everyone to play the low C and G on the beat. Tips: If it is a large class, you can use two hearts. Allow each new player a bit of playing time before passing the heart again. What s Needed Heart Drum [] Orff in C Assorted Percussion or Kits Orff Instruments in C Love Somebody IF TIME Love Somebody: Play on any bars when singing love and tap the mallets for each yes I do.

After everyone has tried the parts together, stand next to the child who should play solo for the yes I do. : Have the lowest instruments play the beat on big C and G. The highest instruments play the tideo rhythm. IF TIME, sing a time for woods verse, having just the woods improvise at the end of the verse. Repeat with time for metals.

We usually work on a song for three to four weeks, experiencing it in different ways. : Demonstrate keeping the beat, playing the rhythm of tideo, and improvising with metals and woods. Demonstrate echo playing. Point out that in the Young Musicians class, we use recordings much less often than the younger classes, and instead the children accompany themselves. The Ship Goes Sailing Movement: Explain we use movement to feel the beat and experience melodic direction, phrasing, and other musical concepts. This is important before learning how to read and write music. The Ship Goes Sailing Instrument Kit: Repeat the rhyme using the instrument kit and Orff instruments, demonstrating the children s creative choices to accompany the text.

Sing each child s name, asking them to move like their animal on tideo and see if we can guess. Remind them to sing. Five Little Monkeys: Clapping Game with Partners Encourage everyone to keep the beat on the drum as you play the ukulele and sing the song. Discuss which beats we played on the drum but didn t sing.

Ask those two children to choose a new partner and repeat the activity. Ask those four children to choose a new partner. If it is a large class, have everyone find a partner and repeat the movement with the song. Gathering Drum Practice playing a crescendo as you introduce this new vocabulary word. Review accent and explain that our story will have a time for us to play a crescendo and an accent. Show the picture on page 3 of the book and ask the children to count the monkeys as they play on the drum. Read pages 35 and have the children alternate their hands on the drum for walking and swish their hands on the drum to spread the blanket. Keep the beat as you sing each verse, clapping on the rests (this happens four times, one at the end of each phrase). Play crescendos for each along comes Mister Crocodile and accents for each SNAP. On page 25 we find out all the monkeys were just hiding. Have the children laugh and move like monkeys and then high five each other.
