Early years music resources

Christmas Jingle Bells These resources will support your delivery of the National Curriculum for Music. Suitable for Nursery, Reception and Key Stage 1 children. Jingle Bells is one of the best-known and commonly sung Christmas songs in the world. For these activities you can have as little as one player or as many as you like. Depending on the age, number and/or ability of your children, this lesson can easily be divided into two sessions. These musical activities teach children to listen very carefully, perform with bells and stop and start at the correct times. Using only bells and the Christmas song, Jingle Bells, these activities will support children in developing their knowledge of instruments, their confidence and their performance and listening skills. Children learn the definition of percussion family, conductor and chorus. This pack includes an instrumental recording of ‘Jingle Bells’, detailed, simple, step by step instructions on how to build and prepare this accompanying performance and in addition, there are ideas, tips and extension suggestions. You do not have to have a musical background to deliver this.

15 traditional children's songs & nursery rhymes (twinkle, twinkle, 5 little ducks, the wheels on the bus...etc) to have in the classroom as a free resource available to the kids. The children can read the book independently and recognize the songs even if they can't read. It also can be used at circle time or during the lesson.

I have organised these rhythms to fit with; 1. Samba instruments 2. Instruments from different families 3. Fruits Obviously people say words in different ways and with different parts of the word accented but as long as you follow the grid itself it works out.
