Please join in with the activities below. The more who can join in, the more fun, too. Not all of the activities are for everyone, so just do the ones you enjoy and as many times as you like.
Play along using any kind of instrument or use body percussion – clapping, tapping, clicking, stamping your feet.
Activities (links below)
- Hello Song
- Bounce and catch
- Sing Charlie Over the Ocean. Watch the video first to see how to do it. Then you can get your own soft toys and join in or else watch and sing.
- Ride-O Ride-O Ride-O. Get a teddy bear or favourite soft toy to bounce on your knee for this song. Maybe a grown-up will bounce you on their knee.
- Five Buzzy Bees. Sing along and copy the actions. Can you make your buzzy bee go up and down, backwards and forwards, left and right, buzz all around?
- Over the Irish Sea. Join in or hold on to a scarf with a partner to move to the song.
- Time to move. Play the instruments along to the video or get up and dance. If you like, get a scarf to play with.
- Time to chill. This week we are listening to a classic song arranged for piano – Imagine, by John Lennon, played by Rousseau
- Goodbye Song
Hello Song
It’s a time to settle down for some music and there are lots of ways to join in. Use it on its own or before doing another music activity.
- Join in and sing, clap, tap and move along to the song!
- Maybe you can try using your voice
- Sign hello
- Tap fast and slow
- Sign “Stop” at the end
- Have fun!
Words
Hello, hello
Very nice to see you
Hello hello,
How are you today?
Hello, hello
Very nice to see you
Hello hello,
How are you today?
We say “Hello”
We’re very pleased to see you
We say “Hello”(can you say and sign hello?)
We say “Hello”
We’re very pleased to see you
We say “Hello”(tap along with the music, sign “Stop” at the end)
More ideas with this video
- If you can’t tap along, maybe a friend can tap your arm or foot for you so that you can feel the beat of the music.
- Can you stamp your feet to the music? Can you tap your shoulders or your head? Move your fingers
- Maybe try playing along with a shaker, or tap something that makes a sound that you like. A box of cereal?

Music with Gordon 20 May: Magical Musical Circle
Make a Magical Musical Circle
Connie and Gordon often use a giant scrunchie or Magical Musical Circle in lessons for both Primary and Secondary lessons. They help to move to the music and feel the rhythm together.
These are stretchy and you probably won’t have one at home. But you can make your own one very simply by tying a knot in a scarf. It’s best if you have permission and if it isn’t a special one, in case it stretches out of shape. You can use with a partner or own your own. Maybe it’s possible to make a bigger one by using more scarves tied together. Try it and see if you like.
Some classes like to sing Sally Go Round the Sun, so in this video Gordon shows that song as well. Remember, you can use the Magical Musical Circle in lots of ways. Have fun!
