I am so excited about this idea!!!! We will be doing it today!
I am using it to teach the 3rd verse of "Choose the Right" but it could easily be applied to learning or reviewing any song...
Prep:
Watch these 2 clips... they will give you the idea of how this activity works! The first one watch the entire way through, but the rumble ball one just watch the first minute or so...
Set Up:
Arrange chairs in a circle, one for each child and teacher.
(note: we have a large primary so I received permission to use the cultural hall and also I am doing all singing/sharing time, so I hope to be able to get through all the activities... adjustments may need to be made according to the time you have)
I have provided the information below in a printable and editable word document...
