Form the children into single lines> double lines, open squares, etc. Increase the tempo and run ; return to quick marching step without losing the rhythm. Return to the run, etc. Vary the activity extensively. THE FOURTH OF JULY Formation. Lines. Measures 1-2. Turn palm of left hand upward, strike with right fist. Twice to each measure. Measures 3-4. Snap the thumb and second finger. Measures 5-6. Ring the bell, two movements to each measure. Measures 7-8. Spring up and down, using tiptoe, and waving an imaginary flag. ' OUR FLAG GOES BY For marching, flag salute or any patriotic purpose. THE BELLS Ringing of big bell in a church. Arms overhead — grasp rope with hands. Downward movement on the first count of the measure, upward on the second. Loosen fingers on the second count, as the body straightens to grasp the rope again. Open hands and take fresh hold of the rope on first count of every measure. For last measure go down and up as in the other measures, finishing with the arms extended upward. THE MERRY-GO-ROUND Circle formation. Move to left, start slowly and gradually increase? the ■momentum. During the first playing of the song, move slowly, — the "wheel" is getting into motion. Mark the accented counts of the measure definitely with the feet. The second time the song is played, increase the tempo sufficiently to oblige the children to walk rapidly, but continue the emphasis on the accented counts of the measure. The third time use a quick running step, stepping at each count. The feat is to finish with an unbroken wheel, stopping without losing the rhythm or balance. WHO LIKES THE RAIN? Play the melody slowly and emphasize the accents. Have the children stoop down, place hands on knees and waddle. After sufficient balance of body hag been gained, use the arms for wings. THE KANGAROO Hiifj upper part of arms close to sides — bend elbows, lifting the hands to represent the short forefeet of the kangaroo. "Bound" quietly, moving twice to each measure — on accented counts. Assume the attitude of the animal as "he sits on his tail" — for last four measures. For older children play the melody rapidly. WADING THE BROOK Imagine a brook — step as if wading in the water, just as though it were necessary to choose the places carefully. One step to each count of the measure. Beginning with the second period, stand still and work the toes — "The wet sand goes between my toes." HICKORY, DICKORY, DOCK Formation. Circle or lines. Everyone is a pendulum in a fine, tall clock. Body straight and stiff. Measures 1-6. Move from foot to foot. Measure 7. Six quick running steps forward. Measure 8. Stop short ! Measure 9. Lift arms high. Measure 10. Clap ! Measure 11. Seven quick running steps backward. Stop short! Remainder of story: Resume position of clock — repeat first movements. THE FIRE ENGINE Formation. Circle or lines. This rhythm requires a rapid movement of the feet. The clatter of the hoofs of the horses must be imagined and secured as the clanging of the bell warns of the approaching engine. Measures 1-4. Accent with the left foot, four steps to each measure. Measures 5-8. Snring up and dovyn, using tip-toe and clapping the hands. To vary the movements, substitute an arm movement for the foot movement. Make the clattering noise with the knuckles of the hands on desks or floor. The clattering noise can be produced also by hand-clapping. Place the hands in extended position, and emphasize the accent as the hands strike together, they moving rapidly back and forth during the. singing of the first eight measures. Clapping instead of striking may be used for the remainder of the story. A JOKE ON THE BROWNIES If an introduction is desired, use the first four measures of the song, then begin the story. Have the children impersonate "Brownies" and play they are wandering all around the house. Face and body should express interest and excitement. Measures 1- 8. Tiptoe slowly and quietly, stepping once to each count of the measure. Measures 9-12. Running step, four steps to each measure. • Measures 13-14. Clattering noise with the feet. Measures 15-16. Run out of sight, helter, skelter. Measures 17-24. To be used when the story is dramatized, or to bring the children from their hiding places. To dramatize it, choose a housekeeper and one to spill the milk. The housekeeper appears after the Erownies return to clean up the milk. She asks: "Who spilled the milk?" The guilty Brownie confesses, where- upon she replies, "Chase him away from here." The one to be chased must have a fair chance to escape before the others 6tart after him. The child catching him spills the milk. The housekeeper chooses one to take her place. SKIPPETY HOP TO THE CANDY SHOP During the singing of the first verse allow the children to skip indepen- dently. Upon beginning the second verse, direct them to choose a partner, doing so without stopping or losing the rhythm. When the last word is sung, "Sandy" — emphasize it to help all of them stop together. PLAYING BALL Bouncing a rubber ball. Bounce, catch, on the accented counts of the measure. PUSS IN THE CORNER Form a circle, make chalk marks where the children are standing. Place two children in the center for "cats." Measures 1-4. The "cats" move about, meowing on the accents of the meas- ure. The children in the circle do many things, clap, hop from foot to foot — sidewise and front movements — skip, run, etc. Make the motions on the counts of the measure. Measures 5-8. Everyone changes his place, and the "cats" endeavor to find a home. THE MILL-WHEEL This rhythm may be used in a variety of ways. The simplest form is a circle, using a quick running step. A more complex form is to step once to each measure while the hands whirl over each other three times. Or, run three steps to the measure and use the hands, or an arm move- ment, once. For great activity, form a circle and join hands, alternate boys and girls. Number the boys 1, girls 3. Introduction — Measures 1- 4. Keep time with the feet. Measures 5- 6. Advance to the center. Measures 7- 8. Retreat. Measures 9-12. Repeat movements from Measures 5-8. Measures 13-14. Measures 15-18. Measures 19-20. All dro;) hands quickly. Each boy turn to the girl on his right, take hold of her hands and swing around together once. .A.11 join hands quickly and repeat movements for Measures 5-8. Stamp note values with the feet. STEPPING STONES .A.t first walk slowly, then rapidly. Experiment with running and leaping. Increase or decrease the tempo of the song to suit conditions, but make the movement on the accented counts of the measure. Place two rows of wooden blocks far enough apart to permit of passing without interference. Space them about two feet apart. Divide the children into two groups and race. Keep score. The side having the most in it who successfully stepped from block to block without getting into the water or losing the rhythm, is the winner. SKATING Choose partners and imitate ice skating. Move on accented counts of the measure. The movements should be easj^ and graceful. When the foot is lifted to make the stroke, bend the knee and let the body sway to the right and left, with as much freedom as the individual can express. PLAYING HOP-SCOTCH Children may be in lines or scattered about. Balance on right foot, hop slowly, once to each measure. After a degree of body balance has been attained, make a chalk line on floor or walk, balance on left foot and hop back and forth over the line. Move twice to each measure. Mark out a form and keep score. The one hopping through the most squares, moving only on the counts of the measure and keeping his balance, wins the game. SKIPPING THE ROPE Permit part of the group to sing the story while the others use an imag- inary rope. This brings the arms into use in one way while the feet perform in another. Begin the rhythm slowly, but play and sing the last four measures rapidly. Those jumping must slop instantly on the word "halt." If used for making circles, draw one to each measure. DANCING ON THE LAWN Measures 1- 4. Step, bend knees, up, repeat. Measure 5. Increase tempo. Step, swing right foot over left, bending knee. Lift body upward, balancing on toes of left foot. Measure 6. Step, swing left foot over right, bending knee. Lift body 8 upward, balancinj^ on toes of right foot. "Measures 7-12. Repeat movements. Measures 13-20. Join hands with partners and run lightly, three steps to the measure. Measures 21-24. Continue running. Reverse, separate, going hither and thither. Measures 25-28. Fariuers together again doing whatever suits their fancy. To Measure S2. When accompaniment is being used. THE BUTTERFLY The children are scattered about. Use a running step, one on each count ■of the measure. Extend the arms sidewise ; then move them slowly, down, up, once to the measure. The feet run or step on each count of the measure, while the arms move to the accented pulse only. Simple melodies of this nature aid^ greatly in the larger work later in contrary movements. MAKING THE FIRECRACKER Cut plain white newspaper into 3x5 inch pieces. Fold to size 25^x3. Later, use red coated paper — fold the color inside. Tear on the accented counts of the measure. Measures 1-2. Tear on the folded edge a narrow strip for the fuse. Measures 3-4. Turn the paper and tear across the top. Measures 5-8. 'J\irn the pajjer again and tear down, finishing the form on the last accented count of the eighth measure. Open and roll. Twist the fuse carefully. LOVELY BUTTERFLY Tear the form of a butterfly. When possible use the colored paper, coated, color on one side. Cut the paper in.o 4x4 inch squares. Fold once, tear on folded edge. Measure 1. '1 ear out the little head. Measure 2. Turn paper and begin to tear the upper wings. Measures 3-4. Complete upper wmgs. Verse 2. Tear lower wings and lower part of body. THE TOP Tear the form of a top. Prepare 4x4 inch squares of plain white news- paper. Fold once. Tear slowly, keeping^the arms in motion during the tearing. .3 Measures 1- 4. Tear the knob. - ; Measures 5-16. Complete the form of the top. The fine point at the bottom of the top is finished just as the last count of measure 16 is sung. MR. JACK O'LANTERN Tear the form of a Jack O'Lantern. Sing the song and tear the "form once for the observation of the children. For the first efforts use plain white newspaper; cut into 4x4 inch squares. Later, use squares of orange coated paper. Directions: Fold the paper edge to edge. The arms are kept in constant motion as the fingers turn the paper. Tear once to each measure. Measures 1- 8. Tear the round pumpkin. Measures 9-12. Quickly fold to the center again the already folded shape. Tear the eyes. Measures 12-16. Open to single fold and tear the nose from the folded edge. Measures 17-24. Tear a piece out for the mouth. Measures 25-32. Make eight tears for the teeth, four above and four below. MY GARDEN Draw fences of various kinds. For very small children use a downward stroke — "big posts in place for a fence." One mark downward on each accent of the measure. Fences may also be made with sticks. Scatter the sticks on the floor, table or desk. Pick up on the first count of the measure, place in position on the third count of the measure, etc., sing- ing the melody as many times as desired to complete the fence. JACK AND JILL This melody has been used as a rote song; as a rhythm for skipping and for penmanship. If used to represent hills, stroke on each accent of the measure. THE FUNNY OLD MAN IN THE MOON Draw the moon with the imaginary face, placing stars around him by using two cross marks, a mark to each accented count. It will be necessary to sing the song two or three times to complete the- picture. THE MOON'S MISTAKE Make the big and little dippers, seven stars in each dipper. Measures 1- 7. Make the big dipper. Measure 8. Finish the rhythm of the period in the air ; prepare to begin the little dipper. Measures 9-15. Make the little dipper. Measure 16. Quick downward movement with the crayon. GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS This story was written for a group of children to sing while Goldilocks and the Bears acted the story. The verses, and repetition of the accompani- ment, were adapted to conditions. The two Christmas songs may be used in a variety of ways. I am going to leave them to the imagination of the children. 10 Good Morning Allegrelto •^ -. - > . „ . > .' ^ , • _. ni ^,,+ »^J ,rv.^Qo4 +110 Clin AVp Good-morn-ing,Good-inorn-ing,Good-morn-ing, Come out and greet the sun.
