Active singing - Miscellaneous songs

This is a collection of 10 miscellaneous songs that can be song with a variety of aids including: bean bags, cups, balls, body percussion and even a wizards hat! There are passing songs, songs that change you into an animal and songs that you can perform whilst doing body percussion.

Every song is designed to reinforce pitch, pulse and rhythm (either consciously or unconsciously) and will help with a range of social skills (turn taking, working with a partner or group etc).

The songs are all in an appropriate range for children. Most use a maximum of a 6-note range with some stretching to an octave. All songs are in C Major but can easily be transposed to D. Each song comes with easy to follow instructions.

They can be used with KS1 and KS2 and have all been tried and tested by the children I teach and have all been received well and enjoyed!

These songs have also been designed to fit perfectly within the Kodaly methodology if teachers are using it (using common ta and ti-ti rhythms and incorporating familiar melody lines - so-mi / mi-so-la).
