Espresso Shot: Two Songs for Sharing Instruments in Kindergarten
Today we’ll look at two specific songs for sharing instruments in Kindergarten. Both these songs use the “pass it down” structure we talked about in episode 34.
Songs:
Bell Horses
Frosty Weather
Passing Out Instruments:
Students sit in a circle. As they sing the song and pat a steady beat, the teacher walks around the outside of the circle and places an instrument behind students’ backs.
Collecting Instruments:
Students stand and walk around in a circle while singing the song. As students move, the teacher walks around the circle and collects the instruments.
