Teaching idea & activities
1. Follow the text with the corresponding movements, adapting them on the rhythm of the song.
2. Replace the movements with sounds, adding a new music instrument every time.
e.g.: “If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands (clap clap)”
can be followed by “If you’re happy and you know it, play your drum”,
or “If you’re happy and you know it, play your sticks/piano/flute/triangle, etc.”.
Depending on the age and the abilities of the children you can complete a circle every 3, 5, even 10 sounds
and end the song with the verse “If you’re happy and you know it, do all three/five/ten”.
The children should remember and play in the right order, each one his own sound.
