Colorful Musical Hop
Place different colored felt or carpet squares all around the floor. In advance, prepare
small slips of paper that match the colors on the floor and place them in a bowl. Let the
children walk around, stepping onto the squares as you play music. Stop the music and
pull a slip of paper from the bowl. Call out that color. Tell the children they have to find
that color and hop on it.
Videos/DVDs/Films
If you have public performance rights, show these videos and DVDs, or segments of
them, to the children. Otherwise, display them for home use. Times are indicated for the
entire film.
