This is a detailed lesson plan based on the YouTube video “Christmas traditions in Great Britain”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cFyWMdQBQ8.

Christmas is a very important time in the christian year, but it is also very important to people who do not go to church. It is a time for presents, parties, and time with the family.

In the UK, people start to get ready for Christmas in late October or early November. They decorate their shops with lights, trees, and other decorations. Shops get very busy and stay open later

in the middle of December. Most families buy Christmas trees, put them inside the house, and put colorful decorations on them.

Watch the video with your students and follow the steps in the lesson plan. You will have 60 minutes of lesson, with a variety of activities that will engage all types of learners.

Add some Christmas joy to your lessons with this festive lesson plan!

Right in time for your Christmas instrumentalists, we present to you Brenda Lee's hit Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree re-imagined as a HIP HOP TRAP MIX for BUCKET DRUMMING!

There are three all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are grouped 2 or 4 times). Then, apply it to drums!

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

The mp3 track is included in this one, so no need to YouTube it. Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!
