RHYTHM BASKETBALL has gotten a new twist right in time for Halloween as the basketballs are now *pumpkin* icons, inspired by John Williams' every so popular theme from "Harry Potter" ... played as PUMPKIN BASKETBALL!

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 repeated 2 times ).

• For this, your students will each have a basketball (can be regulation size or smaller) and bounce their ball on the ground each time they see a basketball icon. Each pumpkin icon is denoted as a quarter note. The rests are in between each pumpkin for the students to hold the ball.

• Two two smaller pumpkins are treated as 2 eighth note pairs

• This can be performed with lower intermediate grade levels (think 3rd and 2nd grade!) with easy because there's no standard notation to follow along -- just pumpkins! ;)

The mp3 is included so you can play right along with it!

Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!

Get your class on beat! Included are 6 background tracks with ethnic flair -- tablas, djembes, bongos, and more ethnic percussion from Asia, India, and South America. The 6 tracks are at approximately 120bpm and also have a faster 142bpm just in case you want to get things really moving! (12 tracks total) I use these in my class for Orff, Boomwhacker, Rhythm Sticks, Dancing, Movement, or singing activities. The tracks go for about 2 minutes each and there's about 18 minutes worth of drum music in the ZIP file Have fun!

Teach the ostinato concept using the musical lullaby extension to this well loved book. I wrote a simple lullaby the children can sing at every page turn. As a follow up activity have the students match the animal sounds with the correct animal. Worksheets can be either copied or assigned digitally through the Easel function. Good for students from PreK-2nd grade.

Use this songtale to sing through what your students have just read about, after you have read the book to them! Using the same melody (with minor modifications due to changing lyrics) that I composed for Little Blue Truck, take your students on a different journey of getting ready for the Halloween party while guessing who each animal is underneath their costume. Great way to review musical form as well, since the song is in ABA form. For grades PreK-2. Ukulele chords included to help you accompany.

Use the lullaby written for this book to have your students practice singing and identifying the re solfege syllable. Add instruments to accompany this lullaby while they practice singing the re syllable and take turns playing the triangles and hand chimes which would go well with accompanying this song. Decode for the re syllable after you are done singing the song. Adaptable for grades PreK-2nd grade.

A great way to start off the school year! Use this songtale to sing through what your students have just read about, after you have read the book to them! Using the same melody (with minor modifications due to changing lyrics) that I composed for Little Blue Truck, get your students excited about coming back to school! Great way to review musical form as well, since the song is in ABA form. For grades PreK-2. Ukulele chords included to help you accompany.

Start the year off right with this wonderful lesson about the Japanese holiday, Tanabata! Using the book The Star Festival by Mona Ritchie Hadley, introduce your students to this wonderful holiday while discussing wishes and dreams for the upcoming year. Read the poem and then learn the speech piece. Divide into two groups while chanting and playing the two individual rhythm parts on rhythm instruments of your choice. Great for introducing and/or reviewing triplets. Use for late 2nd-4th grade as an end of year or beginning of the year setting of wishes.

Use this songtale to review everything that you read about in the book! Using the same melody (with minor modifications due to changing lyrics) that I composed for Little Blue Truck, sing about how Little Blue discovered a new friend living on the farm, with the help of the other farm animals. Great way to review musical form as well, since the song is in ABA form. For grades PreK-2. Ukulele chords included to help you accompany.
