Lesson Plan - Ocean

PreK and kindergarten teachers, are you looking for quick and easy musical activities with an ocean/fish theme? This fun, movement-based music lesson plan requires no prep and your kids will love it!

This lesson plan was designed for Preschool and Kindergarten-aged kids, but lower elementary kids love these activities too!

What's included:

• List of simple materials (things you probably already have)
• List of ocean-themed songs to add to your playlist
• Detailed instructions for how to carry out fun ocean-themed musical activities
• Sheet music with lyrics, notation, and chord symbols
• List of suggested age-appropriate storybooks about various aspects of the ocean.

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!
