MUSIC TEACHER RESOURCES - Snail, Snail
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Oz5wOq8qLY
MUSIC TEACHING TIPS: Great for primary grades, students start in a circle holding hands, but the teacher only
holds hands with one of the people they're standing next to. Then they lead the line slowly in to create a spiral,
and in the middle they turn around and lead the students back out to a circle. It's important that the teacher
walks very slowly so that students don't end up pulling each other, especially as the spiral unravels. The
students will end up facing toward the outside of the circle when they do it one time, so you can repeat the
activity to have them end up the way they started (facing the center of the circle). The words are "Snail, snail,
snail, snail/Goes around, around, around." This can be used to teach the solfege syllable "la," to work on singing
in tune, or to practice following the person in front of you safely. This is great for kindergarten and first grade
(elementary school).

Rock, Rock, how you wander,
From one hand into another.
Is it right, is it fair?
Poor Johnny Standing there!
When we play, the person looking doesn't close there eyes except at the very beginning when the rock is given
out. If the person is looking at you, you try to avoid passing with rock concealed in your hand as you keep
moving it. It's really a very fun game! We also use a different tune (that I'm used to and like a lot). Thanks...
looking for Brain Break ideas... good one!

A simple rhyme to help children familiarise themselves with the question "What is the time?" and to respond with
"It is ... o'clock"
Tick tock, tick tock
I can read a clock
Tick tock, tick tock

Of course it is perfectly possible to ask in English "What time is it?" I chose the other alternative because I feel it
gives the rhyme a more jaunty rhythm!
