Structure of a 30-minute Class:

1. Hello Song:​ It can say hello in it, or it can be a song that signals the beginning of music time.

2. Hand Motion or A Cappella/Fingerplay​

3. Gross Motor: ​Have the kids get up and move

4. Hand Motion or A Cappella/Fingerplay:​ This can be “up” or “down”.

5. Prop song​: Ex: animals, scarves, rings, bean bags, instruments (you can get egg shakers, as well as tambourines in my shop.)

6. Gross Motor: ​Choose a song that has them use their bodies in a way that's different from song #3. (i.e. standing at the circle instead of traveling around it.)

7. Gross Motor or Lullaby​: Depends on energy of the class, do you need to do something that is more “up” or “down?”

8. Good­bye song
