Begin by singing Shake Your Sillies Out by Raffi.Book: Yum Yum! What Fun! By Mara Bergman
Poem: Orchestra by Shel Silverstein
We had the children “play” their instruments along with us, “playing” a little bit of everything as we did the last section of the poem.
So you haven’t got a drum, just beat your belly.
So I haven’t got a horn – I’ll play my nose.
So we haven’t any cymbals –
We’ll just slap our hands together,
And though there may be orchestras
That sound a little better
With their fancy shiny instruments
That cost an awful lot –
Hey, We’re making music twice as good
By playing what we’ve got.
Book: The Baby BeeBee Bird by Diane Redfield Massie – we used a noisy bird puppet with this one
Song: If You’re Happy and You Know It
We did clap your hands, as well as stamp your feet, and give a yell…
Book: Do Monkeys Tweet?
Song: Old MacDonald had a Farm (with finger puppets!)
Book: Yip! Snap! Yap! By Charles Fuge
Song: Let’s Make Some Noise from Raffi’s Everything Grows CD.
We handed out instruments and marched around the room to the music. FUN!
