Teaching Procedures
Play rhythm racer (sixteenth notes)
Copy LinkReview "Old Brass Wagon"
Copy LinkThis song is included so that the new rhythm (sixteenth notes) can be taught. Depending on the reading abilities of your students, teach the song by rote or have the students read the rhythms.
Play the "Old Brass Wagon" game
Copy LinkForm a single circle with pairs of students. All the students join hands and perform the first two verses as the words suggest - circle right, then circle left. On verse 3, all students take four small steps into the center of the circle and then four steps back. Repeat. On verse 4, the students drop hands and turn to face their partner. Swing with right elbows for four counts, and left for four. Repeat. On verse five, partners do-si-do twice. On verse six, partners join hands in “skating” position and promenade around the circle.
