Easy and fun class play for everyone!
Everything you need to know about music lessons that you can do right away, without any preparation!

"Teacher, how come the kids in your class sing so excitedly? Except for a few students, most of the kids in my class don't sing."

Whenever music class begins, elementary school teachers always worry a lot about how to get their students to participate.

“Because our class is not a singing class where we sing, but a singing class where we play.”

The authors' class, which incorporated play into music lessons, always looked forward to and enjoyed music time, singing enthusiastically, whether in upper or middle grades.
We incorporated play into our music lessons with the belief that any student could be happy when they combined fun songs with exciting play.
As a result, by applying play not only to singing but also to music theory, appreciation, and creation, students can learn music easily and enjoyably.
Applying the play activities introduced in this book to music classes can minimize teacher intervention and encourage student participation without any special preparation.
Minimal teacher intervention allows for individual observation of students.
Additionally, the game can be applied directly to situations with various variables.
So most of the games introduced in this book are paper games and physical games.
Students can easily participate in the game as long as they have paper and pencil.
Also, the gameplay is simple and easy, so you can get started right away.
Since these are activities the authors have already enjoyed with their students, students will enjoy participating in music activities without any special skills from the teacher.

There are many experts in the world.
There were times when I felt like the teacher was relatively unprofessional.
Teachers have so much to do.
Spending a day with students is a series of new situations that make it difficult to remember what you did.
The teacher is a 'field expert'.
Teachers can incorporate the various play activities introduced in this book into their own situations and curriculum.
Moreover, it is not limited to play that can be applied only to music classes, but can be applied to all subjects, so if you practice and apply it, you will definitely be able to lead to happy classroom management.
