Goes with Song2 on the blog
Sing My Song ( C, F, Em, B)
1) Here’s a song I’d like to sing for you ,
And I wonder if you like it to.
When I sing this simple little tune
You won’t believe what I can do
I can ride that silver dancing cloud
As long as I can sing my song
I can swim through skies of velvet stars
So long as I can sing my song
And when I am feeling blue
I know just what do.
Climb a tree with shiny yellow leaves
And quietly sing my song.
2) We can dance and flop and stomp around
As long as we can sing our song
Rub the belly, skake your arms and scream
It don’t matter how we sing our song.
Just like the moon at night,
And the sun, with its arms of light
I can do most any-everything
As long as I can sing my song

IceBreaker Work 11.14.08
Ice Breakers:
Week 1-4 (TONAL FOCUS)
Week 1 is major key
We do core body movements, not asking the kids to do it. We do two-part harmony singing the child’s name.
Week 2 is minor key
By second week we ask parent (not child) to do core body movement. (Possibly asking parents for core movement the first week as well).
Week 3 major
Child’s name + we ask the children to make a random noise (what does your favorite animal sound like). We apply this sound to the song we are singing. The animal sound should get repeated several times.
Week 4 minor
Child’s name + we ask the children to make a random noise (what does your favorite animal sound like). We apply this sound to the song we are singing. The animal sound should get repeated several times.
Week 5-8 (INTRODUCE INSTRUMENTS)
Week 5 major key
Child's name, instrument and some object (favorite animal or food).
Week 6 minor
Child's name, instrument and some object (favorite animal or food).
Week 7 major
Child's name, instrument and some object (favorite animal or food).
Week 8 minor
Child's name, instrument and some object (favorite animal or food).
Week 9-12 (INTRODUCE MOVEMENT)

Week 10

No matter if the child is too young...the parents should model what we are working toward.
