*I forgot to mention that in K and then year to year I play this differently. Here is a video on a different way I played it with Mrs. Forde's class this year. Notice my friend in the middle playing the resting tone with a steady macro beat! Nice work!
I didn't get a video this year but this is Mr. Tighe's 3rd grade class from last year playing! Something we do and love in 1-3 is using dynamics instead of "hot or cold" to help the seeker find the leprechaun. Students sing the B section louder when students get nearer and softer if they're going in the wrong direction. Sing as many times as you need until you find your friend!
EXTENSIONS: What is the meter? (duple or triple) What is the tonality? (major or minor) Can you play it or even the phrase "Leprechaun" on a xylophone? keyboard? piano? recorder? Can you find the resting tone and play it on an instrument? Can you find the beat and play that on a drum or something that sounds like a drum? (Macro (big) and micro (small) beats)
Feel free to comment or ask questions! Love and miss you all! Mrs. Mac
