STEADY BEAT SCARF ACTIVITY

What could be more fun than to bounce a scarf on the beat?

One thing that I like to do with this type of activity is to have the children switch hands. Then I ask them to tell me which hand was easier?

I made some slides and a video with music for students to follow the pictures.

DYNAMICS SCARF ACTIVITY

Students can show dynamics with a scarf too!

I made a video of the scarf movement showing the melody of the instrumental music that I wrote. You can use the activity with any music.

First allow students to experiment with the scarf to show the melody going up and down. You may want to sing a simple melody that you’ve been working on like “Bluebird, Bluebird”, or “Rain, Rain Go Away”.

CALM DOWN MOVEMENT

Finally, it’s time for a calm down activity. The song I wrote is “Twirl Around”. Students can do this scarf activity and calm down.
