Are you ready for back to school music class? Want a fun way to greet your students? Here are some fun back to school music activities you can use on the first day of class.
If you haven’t returned to school, then you may be ready to in the next few weeks. I’m hoping that you are getting lot’s of ideas for your music classes from the blog posts. This week’s post shares some ideas for using movement with your first week activities.
I’m super excited about the new materials in the FREEZE DANCE activity.
I’ve added in 4 different DYNAMICS Activities you can do with the video. I’ve included some worksheets, flashcards and activity directions.
And, if you’re helping out the classroom teachers or looking for ways to integrate literacy and movement, you’ll love the ACTION WORD coloring sheets for students to write the word and then color them.
Why not have some fun your first day of music class?
Use the Back to School Freeze Dance Activity as a transition activity during your first day of classes.
Greet your students.
Introduce your classroom procedures.

You’ll be able to use this video as a transition activity between setting up your classroom procedures.
Body percussion activities are also great for back to school music activities.
What’s great about this activity is that it’s a hello song and a body percussion activity!
BODY PERCUSSION & HELLO SONG “EVERYBODY SAY HELLO”
My students love playing this game. It’s one of my favorite Kindergarten back to school music activities.
And while it’s great to FREEZE DANCE and PLAY GAMES, it’s also important to teach those classroom procedures and rules during that first week. Students need to hear your expectations and know what to do for entering, exiting the classroom, bathroom breaks, how to manage instruments and a little about you!
