Songs:

  • Bell Horses

  • Frosty Weather

Passing Out Instruments:

  • Students sit in a circle. As they sing the song and pat a steady beat, the teacher walks around the outside of the circle and places an instrument behind students’ backs.

Collecting Instruments:

  • Students stand and walk around in a circle while singing the song. As students move, the teacher walks around the circle and collects the instruments.
