Active singing - Parachute songs

This is a collection of 10 songs to be sung with a parachute (they could also be used with scarves/lycra).

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).
