Page Count:
9
Age Group:

Ages 2 – 8
Tip from Lynn:

The children and audience love the “fish echoes” following “Fish in the Ocean” for transitions. Have the children help create some before the concert. The bigger the variety, the more fun. For example, I say “Jelly fish, tuna fish.” The kids echo:”Jelly fish, tuna fish.”

Sealife Set

Sealife Set

Little Folk Visuals Sealife Set. A must-have with Songs of the Sea, the variety of sealife in this set results in tons of solo singing, such as in “Scuba Man” on Page 20. Be inspired to make up verses using these colorful felts for “Down by the Ocean” on page 26 or “Ten Fish in the Sea” on page 15 as well. Have fun with “Going on a Boat Ride” (changed from “Going on a Bike Ride”) in Kids Make Music, Babies Make Music Too! Book page 38.

8 & 12 Handle Parachutes

8 & 12 Handle Parachutes

This is a must in Lynn’s Music Box! Used for many purposes in the lessons, from a guide to form a circle (dancing around it) to having instruments on it (giving a warning not to step on the parachute) so no one cuts across the circle when trading instruments, to shaking, lifting, hiding, etc.

Here’s a few of the most loved activities for the parachute: Five Little Leaves from In All Kinds of Weather, Kids Make Music Shoo Turkey from Farm Sounds and the Sounds of Moosic, Lieutenant Kije from Kids Can Listen, Kids Can Move! and Sailing from Songs of the Sea.

Shark

Shark

Folkmanis shark puppet. From Songs of the Sea, the shark plays an important part in “Larry the Lobster” and “Down By the Ocean.”

Creating A Winter Wonderland In A Southern California Classroom

Creating A Winter Wonderland In A Southern California Classroom

Return To Music Box

Many teachers ask, “what do we do when we don’t have snow in the winter months and the curriculum is all about snow and cold weather?” Some even go: “my students can’t relate to snow songs! They’ve never seen it!” We think this is a great opportunity to share pictures and props and let the learning about other climates happen!

Music Rhapsody is in Southern California by the beach. We don’t get snow but that doesn’t stop us from pretending we do! Classroom props are our best friend during the winter months. Here are some snowy ideas on how to create a winter wonderland in your classroom! Download our mini workshop from October 2022 for more on this topic.

Let It Snow!

Cotton balls and a parachute are great to make it snow in the classroom. Cotton balls are easy to pick up and use again and again. Use recorded music such as “ Let it Snow. ” (Composer Jule Styne and lyricist Sammy Cahn)

Paper Plate Ice Skates

“Ice skating” on the thin, cheap paper (not plastic!) plates is always fun (works well on carpet). Skating from A Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Guaraldi is awesome for paper plate skating! Consider forward and backwards, spinning, figure eight, etc!

Paper Snowflakes

Use props like paper snowflakes for rhythmic notation for snow songs such as Snow (Yuki) and White Feathers from In All Kinds of Weather Kids Make Music and Each Little Snowflake from Holiday Songs and Winter Adventures. Music Rhapsody Members, Snow (Yuki) can be found in your Big Kids and Young Musicians curriculum in your member area.

Snow Cloud and White Feathers

Wrap a strip of white fur around a hand (frame) drum and fill with white feathers.  When the feathers fall, the children play their instruments (I like metals such as finger cymbals, triangles, metallophones and glockenspiels for sparkly, glistening music!).  See In All Kinds of Weather Kids Make Music for the song and activity White Feathers. Music Rhapsody Members, this activity can be found in your Big Kids and Young Musicians curriculum in your member area.

Puppets Galore!

Wintery puppets like the snowy owl are great additions to help to present and lead snow activities. Snowy the Owl is a must have prop to present and direct snow activities. Also great for pitch matching!
