Term 3 beginning activities for Gr. 1/2

Here are three musical activities that can be done from home:

1. Can you sing the Elevator Song, moving your body up and down along with your voice? Can you do it fast, medium, and slow?
2. Can you find something in your home that makes a non-pitched sound, such as a pot or two sticks to hit together, and make up a rhythmic pattern using ta, ti-ti, and za that you can repeat to a steady beat?
3. Can you write about one of your favourite songs and why it’s one of your favourite songs? Can you talk about elements of music such as pitch (high/low), tempo (fast/slow), and dynamics (loud/soft)?
