Lesson Plan - Cats

Are you looking for exciting musical activities that celebrate our feline friends? Or perhaps you're seeking cat-themed music lesson plan for preschoolers? Look no further! This no-prep, movement-based lesson plan includes ten engaging activities for your students. It was created with PreK and Kindergarten-aged children in mind, but lower elementary students will enjoy it too!

What's included:

• A list of simple materials (most of which you probably already have)
• A selection of songs to add to your playlist
• Detailed instructions for carrying out nine fun music activities
• Cat-themed storybook recommendations for a literacy component
• Five pages of sheet music with lyrics, notations, and chord symbols
• Printable finger puppets to enhance a musical activity

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 a cappella 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!
