Starter Activity
Students should begin the lesson by playing Pass the Beat.
In a four beat pattern, students will say one word each, like so:
PASS / THE / BEAT / (clap)
Students will continue to pass this pattern around the circle, until one of them says the wrong word, or goes too fast or too slow. Once a student is 'out' they must sit down - its important that they are silent for the rest of the game to prevent the other students from being distracted.

Lesson Body
​
Open the lyric video to Jingle Bell Rock ---->
​
Students should be instructed first to listen, and then when the video is replayed, to copy.
Play the video from 0:00 to 0:23. Replay this portion of the video and have students sing along. Repeat this process with the following timestamps:
0:23 - 0:39
0:39 - 0:43
0:43 - 0:56
0:56 - 1:11
Once they've completed up to the first chorus, have them sing the whole song, together with the track. Revise sections they may have forgotten using the process above (what a bright time will be tricky, as will giddy up jingle horse)
Once they are confident with all parts up to the first chorus, have them practice with the karaoke track. ---->

Conclusion
If students have completed this within the 30 minutes, have them play pass the beat (for a quick time filler) or have them learn the second verse of Jingle Bell Rock for more time.
