In the spirit of St. Patrick's day my Kindergarten students continue work on the series "there was an old woman who swallowed a..." This holiday she swallows a clover!
Eventually the students will have sung through the entire series of "There was an old lady" and then the students will have a chance to start "composing" for the first time. The students will be given a picture where they can draw anything they want in the old lady's mouth and show what she swallowed this time!
After the book has been read they learn the 10 little leprechaun's song and then we play a game of hot and cold! One student is the Leprechaun and another tries to steal the Leprechaun's Gold and hide it. If the Leprechaun can find it then the Leprechaun wins if not then the student that hid the Gold wins! The rest of the students sing the song to let the Leprechaun know if he is getting close to finding it or not. If the students sing LOUD then the Leprechaun is very close, if they sing quiet then the Leprechaun is far away!
As an added extension idea the students have a chance to start to get an idea of music notes and what they look like by looking at the pictures that symbolize what the notes are. (They will start to learn notes in 1st grade)
