This is a great song to bring out the bass xylophone or bass bars.
Activity:
For classes that need it, I will often have the kids come up in turns. For classes that are more independent, I will set out multiple instruments. On the first attempt, play with the students on the same instrument.
Have a student choose the type of pie that is in the Great Big House. Fill in that word instead of “pumpkin.” Any answer is the acceptable!
Extension: Alter the bordun to quarter notes or alternating hands on quarter notes.
Choice Board:
This is a sample choice board created with my students. Students can select from the board, offer their own idea, or combine ideas. If students have ideas, add them to your choice board!
