By Stephanie Smith
These ADORABLE song cards are a FUN & EASY way to incorporate active movement songs into your classroom! I put these cards on the wall in my classroom near my circle carpet and let the children take turns picking out their favorite songs during our music & movement (dance party) time. These versatile cards can also be used in a pocket chart, laminated and placed on a metal binder ring, or used to make song sticks.
The songs included in this product and been tried & tested in an actual preschool classroom and are well-loved by my students. I introduce a handful of songs at the beginning of the year and gradually add more songs as the children begin to gain familiarity with the playlist.
This product includes one banner and 42 active movement song cards that can be rotated out throughout the school year.
PLEASE NOTE: The songs included in this product are located in Spotify. Artists may need to be modified if you are using a different streaming service or YouTube for your music & movement time.

Grim Grinning Ghosts Trap Remix (Haunted Mansion) - HALLOWEEN BUCKET DRUMMING!
By Jason Litt
An October classic just in time for the spooky bucket drums to come out is the smash hit from Disney's Haunted Mansion "Grim Grinning Ghosts"!
There are five 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 repeated 3 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)
Here's the track so you can play along...
Keep it steady and keep it spooky!
Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!

Apple Music Curator Playlist Assignment - Great for Back to School!
By MsNerdWood
This package includes 4 tasks to get your students thinking about their musical choices. What Is Included: Task 1: Create Your Apple Playlist Task 2: Descriptive Paragraph About Your Playlist Task 3: Cover Art Design Task 4: Reflection Questions (Equity and Inclusivity) Rubric I typically give this assignment out at the beginning of the school year to get to know my student’s taste in music. It takes between 4-6 periods to complete and is appropriate for grade 5-8. Please note: This assignment works best if you are able to access Apple Music. As a teacher, you could always set up a free account to show to your students or ask your students if any of them already have it and would be willing to show the class how it works. Spend some time and show them how to use it if you have access to it. You can also see some demos from the Apple website. If you do not subscribe to Apple Music, I highly recommend it. You can still use this assignment without Apple Music with your students and they can reflect on the inclusivity of the playlist that they create. TIPS: 1. Be sure to leave feedback to earn your TeachShare credits! 2. If you like what you see - follow me for new products and updates (click the star by my store name MsNerdWood).
