Here are some songs you can use to vary the tempos. & amp amp amp amp lt A HREF=” amp amp amp amp amp amp MarketPlace=US& amp amp amp amp amp ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fprekinders-20%2F8014%2F647968a9-2acd-499c-9fcf-6b97d4d2bdac& amp amp amp amp amp Operation=NoScript”& amp amp amp amp gt Widgets& amp amp amp amp lt /A& amp amp amp amp gt More Ways to Move to Musicįast and Slow: Moving with Varying Tempos Give children verbal signals to move in contrasting ways as the music changes in contrasting themes: jumping/ walking, marching/ gliding, stomping/ tiptoe. This is another song with contrasting themes from forceful to gentle. You can either have them sit on the floor and pretend to row with their arms while rocking back and forth or you can pair them up to sit face to face with feet touching, holding hands while rocking back and forth. Have the children pretend to row boats along with the rhythm of the song. This is a gondola boat song, and the steady flowing rhythm reminds me of boats rowing. As the music gets softer and then louder at intervals, stop the drum beat, then begin again. Radetsky MarchĬhildren keep the beat on drums while marching. Have the children dance a “crazy” dance while playing their tambourines. The tarantella was a dance where people bit by a tarantula spider would dance crazy to save themselves from the poison (or so it was believed). Make paper plate tambourines to dance with during this song. It sounds just like a train! Have the children line up and move around the room like a train. Carnival of the Animals: The KangarooĬhildren can hop around the room like a kangaroo as the piano plays the short “jumpy” notes (staccato), then keep still as the piano plays gently. Give them verbal instructions to stop, drink water from a pool with their trunk, lift their trunk to spray the water, scoop up some food with their trunk and curl it to their mouth, etc. Carnival of the Animals: The ElephantĬhildren can pretend to move like elephants, swinging their “trunk” (arms), in a slow, cumbersome manner. Give them verbal instructions to pretend to land on a branch, fly away again, swoop down to catch a worm, etc. The children can pretend to fly and flutter about the room along with the fluttery sound of the flutes and piano in the song. You can also have them place a carpet square on their back as the turtle shell, trying not to let their shell slip off as they crawl. Have the children move like turtles, in a slow and cumbersome crawl. The music plays slowly and lazily like turtles. At intervals, the piano rumbles up and down the bass notes to create a lion’s roar, and the children can pretend the are roaring. Carnival of the Animals: Royal March of the LionsĬhildren can prowl like lions along with the music. As them to move in a slow, gentle motion like the fish moving through the water. Children can dance slowly with scarves, pretending the scarves are the waves or seaweed. In this song, the piano keys represent the bubbles floating up to the surface and the violins and flutes represent the fish moving gently through the water. Have children move around the animal represented in the song: they will prowl like lions, crawl like tortoises, walk and swing their trunks like elephants, move in a slow, swimming motion like the fish, etc.
CARNIVAL OF THE NAIMALS FOSSILS SONG SERIES
Carnival of the AnimalsĮach song in this series represents the movement of a different animal. Pause the music occasionally and everyone must freeze. The person with the beanbag is “stung” and moves to the middle of the circle.Īnother idea: Allow the children to move around the room like buzzing bees. Pass a beanbag (the “bee”) around the circle of children while the music plays. The Tale of the Tzar Saltan: Flight of the Bumblebee Here are some ideas for using classical music with young children
