This is Ballettmusik by Mozart.
What instruments do you have in the music room? Do you have some of the instruments in the picture?
If you have class sets of instruments, choose one that you could give the students. (sticks or egg shakers are good)
Show them how it is held and played.
Hand the instruments out. I like to have the students close their eyes while I hand out instruments as quickly as possible.
The second they open their eyes, play the instruments with the chant.
If you do this chant every time you hand out instruments, it not only manages behaviors and instantly engages kids, they get to explore the instrument right away.
