Earlier this year, Kindergarten learned the nursery rhyme "Wee Willie Winkie." This is nursery rhyme is great because it provides so many musical opportunities! It goes like this: (thanks to bethsnotesplus.com for the music) We took turns acting out the story as Wee Willie Winkie while some of us stood as houses and others as lampposts or trees in the town. We also found all of the rhyming words throughout the song. The rhymes on "town" and "gown" as well as "lock" and "clock" gave us a chance to add some instruments. Wee Willie Winkie also gave us a chance to add more sounds by rapping at the window and crying through the lock. We learned so many things with just this simple nursery rhyme, and the kiddos learned in the best way that they can: through playing! Here are some pictures of one class using triangles to play the clock sound, playing wood blocks for the rapping at the window, and adding Orff instruments to the rhyming words. Have a great weekend!
Musically yours, Mr. Verno
