    1. a. Play a scale on the bells; then sing it as a student plays it on the bells.
    2. b. Learn to say the poem expressively, then sing the song expressively and play the bells. Talk about the direction that their voices, the music notes and the bells are moving.
    3. c. Students will move their paper ghost with the direction of the music as they sing and play the song again.
  3. 3. Read the book "Five Little pumpkins" to the class. Students may help with the ooo sounds in the book and may even act it out and play the step bells.

My kindergarten - second grade love this one. The more advanced students like to orchestrate this more elaborately by using the autoharp, maracas, sticks and castonettes, etc.
