Lesson Plan - China/Chinese New Year
This is a fun movement-based music class lesson plan meant to introduce children to China and/or the Chinese New Year celebrations. This lesson plan has a few Chinese New Year activities, but can also be used all year round as a lesson plan about Chinese culture. It was designed for PreK and Kindergarten aged kids, but lower elementary kids love these activities too! This lesson plan contains a few bilingual activities.
My musical lesson plans teach basic musical concepts such as rhythm, singing, and movement, but are also great for developing coordination, gross and fine motor skills, and literacy skills. These lesson plans can be used as is or modified as needed, for toddlers, preschoolers, early elementary (kindergarten, first and second grade), and homeschool co-ops.
This easy-to-teach lesson plan requires simple materials - generally egg shakers, scarves, a Bluetooth speaker, and an optional piano, keyboard, ukulele, or guitar. All songs can also be sung acapella if you don't play an instrument. You'll get activities themed for the lesson plan and instructions on how they should be performed, a complete list of songs to add to your playlist and any sheet music needed, complete with chords and notation. You can teach this lesson plan without an extensive musical background yourself!
