The Olympic Winter Games provide many opportunities to discuss music. We listened to the "Olympic Fanfare and Theme" and identified the instruments used and how the arrangement makes us feel when we listen to it. The composer is John Williams who is responsible for the music for many movies such as Star Wars and Harry Potter. We also listened to our national anthem "The Star Spangled Banner," which is played during the medal ceremonies.
Here's a simple little song for the younger students in which we pretend to dress up in winter clothing.
The weather outside is brrrr cold... brrrr cold... brrrr cold... The weather outside is brrrr cold... so let's all put on a coat. Simply repeat and replace the last word "coat" with another item. |
