IT'S NATIONAL REPEAT DAY!
IT'S NATIONAL REPEAT DAY!
Tuesday, June 3rd is National Repeat Day! I thought there couldn't be a more fitting time for us to learn about the repeat symbol. I taught the children today that a repeat symbol was "two lines and two dots" and its meaning in music calls for a repeat of whatever you just played or sang! What a fitting time to learn echo and call and response songs. We also used puppets, read from a large animal song book, and did activity sheets that helped a little rabbit find the rest symbol through a maze (3& up).
Check out the videos, lyric sheets and questions below so that you can extend the lesson at home!
THANKS FOR READING! =)
