Singing through the alphabet

by cheryl

We have 2 prep classes at my school and we are lucky enough to have our music teacher as our support teacher for 3 mornings a week (to 10.30am).

We have a program that works really well where we all get together for 20 minutes and sing songs that relate to each alphabet letter.

Our Music teacher has some absolutely wonderful, fun songs and the children not only learn the songs but also lots of hand and body actions, rhythms, dances, special effects that go along.

We have special props eg the old lady (doll) who swallowed a fly. She has the songs and music on her ipod and often accompanies the singing on her guitar.
