Play different styles of music (without words or voices) that might express a variety of emotions. Have the children move with the music to express their emotions.
You may be interested in the following songs, which can be found through internet searches:
Prokofiev: Peter And The Wolf March
Rimsky/Korsakov: Flight of the Bumble-Bee
Pettersson: Symphony No. 7
Penderecki: The Dream of Jacob
Brahms Lullaby
The Lancers: Open Up Your Heart (And Let The Sunshine In)
The Marketts: Out of Limits
MacDowell: To a Wild Rose
Tchaikovsky: Opus 66
Sing songs about different emotions. Be very dramatic when showing emotions.
If You’re Happy and You Know It
(Author Unknown)
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you’re sad and you know it, shed a tear
If you’re tired and you know it, stretch and yawn
If you’re mad and you know it, stomp your feet
If you’re hungry and you know it, rub your tummy
If you’re cold and you know it, do a shiver
If you’re nervous and you know it, wiggle around
I am Happy Song (to Frere Jacques)
(Debbie Hasbrook M.Ed.)
I am silly, I am silly,
How ‘bout you? How ‘bout you?
See me as I wiggle, See me as I wiggle,
Can you wiggle too? Can you wiggle too?
I am tired, I am tired,
How ‘bout you? How ‘bout you?
See me yawning, see me yawning.
Can you yawn too? Can you yawn too?
I am angry, I am angry,
How ‘bout you? How ‘bout you?
See my mad face, see my mad face.
Can you do it too? Can you do it too?
I am happy, I am happy
How ‘bout you? How ‘bout you?
See me smiling, see me smiling
Can you smile too, can you smile too?
