Discover a whole set of creative teaching and learning activities based on some of the delicious learning concepts in this cheerful and playful little piece!

Activities include: • Whole body movements to embed rhythm • Ensemble rhythm work • Pans and wooden spoons for coordination • Words to sing the melody • Improvisation ideas to prepare the student to play in F major • Playing by ear • A “bear” composition activity • The B flat game • Listening activities based on the piece (definitely no aural test books here!) • Jigsaw structure activity • Structure highlighting active learning.
