Term 3 beginning activities for Gr. 1/2
Here are three musical activities that can be done from home:
- Can you sing the Elevator Song, moving your body up and down along with your voice? Can you do it fast, medium, and slow?
- 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?
- 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)?
