Can you feel the force of the beat?

Star Wars Extravaganza

 

 

 

In Kindergarten the main focus is to find the beat and the rhythm of the words. This helps students with reading and recognizing the different syllables in words. In music we call the beat: The heartbeat and the rhythm of the words: the way the words go!

 

This activity we used our "beat"sabers to tap with our friends the heart beat of the music from Star Wars.

 

First we discussed how to properly listen to music. 1. We sit criss cross applesauce 2. We keep our lips sealed 3. We put our listening ears on 4. Our hands in our lap.

 

Then I played the song The Imperial March from Star Wars. It was amazing to see how the students faces lit up once they recognized where the song was from!

 

We then brought out our "beat"sabers and created movement that matched the music! Check out the fun we had in music class!
