Music and movement is the way
where we can express ourselves. It makes our day enjoyable and makes our
personality whole. Some of us like music because it can make them relax while
the others were doesn't because they don't being "emo" or like the
feeling of being emotional. Others like dancing because for them, it's the best
way where they can express what they feel while others don't like because they
were not good in dancing.
But when
it comes into teaching strategies, music and movement can be use. There are
some reasons why music and movement is useful.
1. It can
help the students in remembering everything.
Like when
it comes to alphabet letters that have its alphabet song. You can give some
actions at the beginning of the song before proceeding to the alphabet letters.
Here is the example:
Up to the ceiling, down to the
floor
Left to the window, right to the
door
Mama kisses me, Papa hugs me
For I know my ABC`s
A B C D E F G
H I J K L M N O P
Q R S T U V
W X Y Z
Now I know my ABC`s
Next time you will sing with me.
2. It can
help the students in identifying everything.
Like when
it comes to parts of the body that have its body parts song. You can give some
actions as you are pointing the parts of the body being asked in the song. Here
is the example:
Head, shoulders, knees and
toes,
Knees and toes.
Knees and toes.
Head,
shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
Knees and toes.
And
eyes, and ears, and mouth,
And nose.
And nose.
Head,
shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
Knees and toes.
3. It makes
the whole class enjoy the day.
Children,
by nature, like to sing and dance. For them, it makes their day complete. Before
they go to school, they feel the excitement because they know that before the
class begin, they will sing and dance. Here is the example:
I have five senses say
them with me
Five senses here we go
Say 5, Hi-5
(5, Hi-5)
Five senses here we go
Say 5, Hi-5
(5, Hi-5)
I have five senses say
them with me
Five senses here we go
Say 5, Hi-5
(5, Hi-5)
Five senses here we go
Say 5, Hi-5
(5, Hi-5)
1 to see, 2 to hear
3 to taste, 4 to feel
5 to smell, we're doing well
3 to taste, 4 to feel
5 to smell, we're doing well
Five senses say them
with me
Five senses here we go
Say 5, hi 5
(5, Hi-5)
Five senses here we go
Say 5, hi 5
(5, Hi-5)
