Copy LinkTeach “Rabbits”
Copy LinkThis is a fun song for students to learn as part of a spring or Easter theme. Students may be able to read the rhythm and melody of the song. Since students will be familiar with the melody they may be able to create new words.
Read the rhythms. The melody will probably be familiar to the students, and you can have students read the melody from the projectable slides.

Copy LinkPlay the game!
The students form a circle. Each student extends their hands, palms facing up. Each player puts the right hand over the hand of the person on the right and the left hand under the hand of the person on the left. The clapping moves clockwise around the circle. The player who begins claps the right hand of the person on their left with their right hand. On the last word of the song, “five,” the player who is about to be hit must pull their hand away before being clapped. If they pull away in time, the clapper is out. If they get clapped, they are out.
Sing and play the game with “Stella Ella Olla”

Copy LinkThis is a fun game for children to play. If you have students who don't celebrate Easter, change that word to 'furry'. "Hide those eggs little furry bunny... " Teach the melody and the words of the song by rote and play the game. Have the students show the phrases in the song with arm motions. The phrase form is abac.
