​Loot bag of F-U-N!
with Sue Harvie

March 13, 2021

​10 am - 11:30 am (MST)


F-U-N in any teaching situation, whether you are a wandering minstrel, online, or face-to-face, these activities are sure to be a hit! Literature and literacy connections, games and activities to move, play and sing for Kindergarten to Grade 6. Make sure you have "Found Sound" (sounds created from common objects that are not considered "musical" normally, such as:  broomsticks, machines, cheese graters, etc.) available for a one-man band activity with "Musical Mac" and begin your rhythm reading experience with Hervé Tullet's book, "Say Zoop!" We'll take '2 stomps and turn around' before we freeze and warm up and learn a little cup routine (a plastic or solo cup will do). We'll explore score reading within the context of an elimination game and have fun swabbing the deck as we explore Do and Sol.  'Sol' much F-U-N guaranteed! 
​​
Materials needed for this workshop: "Found Sound" (see description above) or available Non-Pitched Percussion, a pitched percussion instrument (optional), plastic cup
