Bell Horses (Copy)
Introducing the Song
T sings, ss step a steady beat in place
How many steady beats do you count in our song?
T sings, ss step a steady beat in open space around the room, but be back to their spot by the time the song is over
Add game: Ss step a steady beat in open space around the room. At the end of the song, the “clock” (bells, snapping, rhythm sticks, ec.) chimes a number of beats between 1 and 10. Ss show what time it is on their fingers.
Eventually a s plays the clock instead of T
Transition to ss walking around the room in pairs of horses
