Princess and Pirates Conducting!!
Everyone wants to be a princess or pirate...and everyone wants to conduct music RIGHT???? Now let the kids do both!! That's right.. Put your feet up for a few songs and let the pirates and princesses conduct!
Five little Monkies Swinging in a Tree
The nursery kids just LOVE watching the crocodile "snap" those monkies right out of the tree!! I put a magnet behind the crocodiles mouth and paper clips on the back of the monkies!
Betty and Freddy Spaghetti
The kids love watching Betty and Freddy slurp up the spaghetti as they sing... Do girls only or boys or race one side against the other. Store yarn neatly on other side with hooks!

Singing Juice!
Sometimes when singing your best, your mouth can get dry! Squirt some singing juice into all the good singers mouths... Which will be everyone! Make sure to use non colored drinks, so you won't stain Sunday clothes if there is an accident!
More organization
I discovered these foam boards at the dollar store. They are a lot sturdier than those cardboard sheets I used to use! Plus I just bought the rest of the box so I asked if I could keep the box they came in. It's perfect for keeping them neat and tidy!
Organize
I keep a folder labeled for every song. I have them organized alphabetically. Not every song has a flip chart or visual in it ....Yet! I found this crate dusting away in my garage! It's perfect for storing all the songs neatly. It's great for keeping in the cupboard so if I have a sub... It's all there nice and easy to use!
Singing is contagious!
That's right! Didn't you know it is uplifting and catchy? Give each teacher a sheet or 2 and as the children sing well they will get singing spots!!
Dice
Dice are always a great tool to use in singing time! Make each number represent a song, action, the skies the limit!!! Want to try something new? Use a dry erase dice.... Write whatever you want to go along with you lesson!
Rain is Falling All Around
Don't forget to bring a spray bottle of water. If the kids sing well... Walk around and mist them. Make it rain in primary! This is great for Nursery too!!!

Feliz Cumpleanos
To teach this song have the children match up the different language to the country. Pin it up on the board and then sing! I wrote the pronunciation under each word to help them and me too!!
