Kindergarten Music Series: Closing Activities
Closing Activities are an important part of routine for both students and teachers in Kindergarten music. We want to leave students with a positive, music making experience as they leave the music room. Included in these closing activities are often opportunities for reviewing the learning objectives for the day, as well as the actual nuts and bolts of managing students through the transition of leaving the music room and rejoining their teacher. You as the teacher can decide whether the students need something higher or lower energy at the end of class to make that transition successful.
In this episode of Teaching Music Tomorrow, Anne shares the book, "The Old Black Fly" and Victoria shares the game "Zapatitos Blancos."
