Game: Let Us Chase the Squirrel. Learning Objective: Downbeat, Mi So interval. Rules: The song goes “let us chase the squirrel up the hickory down the hickory, let us chase the squirrel up the hickory tree.” 2+ students make a tree by holding hands. Everyone else is a squirrel and makes a line. When the song starts, squirrels run through the tree in a circle non stop. The students in the tree must lower their arms precisely on the beat “tree” to catch a squirrel (not too early). Whoever is in the middle is caught and becomes part of the tree. If nobody is in the middle, then the front person becomes part of the tree (every round at least one squirrel joins the tree) Last person standing wins. #musiceducation #musiclessons #musicteacher #musiceducator #education #musicclass #musicteachers #elementarymusic #musicforkids #pianoteacher #lessonplanning #lessonplans #musiclessonplans
