Lesson Body

Using egg shakers and maracas, students should copy the rhythms given in the beat boxes, and once they feel comfortable with these should begin singing with them. Once the students seem comfortable identifying which rhythm fits with each part of the song, appoint a few leaders (for the struggling students to watch) and move to accompany them on a chordal instrument.

The chords are 

Cm, Cm, G, G,

G, G, Cm, Cm  :||

Cm, Bb/Cm Ab/Cm G7

Cm, Cm, G :||

Students should repeat until they are confident enough to perform without direction.

Conclusion

If there is time, play Bee Bee Bumblebee. Students who didn't have a turn last week should let the teacher know if they wish for a turn this week.

Have students line up at the door and dismiss them.
