Morning Circle:
Introduce the letter "M." Explain that today's topic
is "music," and that "music" begins with the "m"
sound. Have three "m" items in a "Letter Bag."
For instance, place a small toy motorcycle, a
small milk carton, and money in the bag. Give
children clues about each item before it's
removed to see whether they can guess the name
of the item.

type of music made the
children feel. Briefly discuss

Make Musical Triangles
Use 18-gauge or thicker copper wire, silver, or brass wire (sold
at crafting stores,) and let children bend into triangles. Watch children
closely to prevent cuts and scrapes. Consider having an adult place a
small piece of electrical or other tape over cut ends of wire. Use a
smaller gauge wire to make the hanger at the top of the triangle (show
children how to bend it into decorative shape.) Use about an eight
inch length of metal wire (the thickest gauge you can find,) to make the
"tapper." Bend its ends to make decorative curly-cues.

| Bible Verse Bracelets: Psalm 81:1-2 ”Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob! Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre." Discuss this verse: explain reasons why we praise God, ways we can praise Him, and talk about the sounds the instruments in the verse might have made. |
Bible Song:
"Praise Him, Praise Him All Ye Little Children."
"Praise Him, Praise Him All Ye Little Children."
| Bible Storytime: Read Mole Music, by David McPhail. Talk with the children about how playing music well takes practice. Ask children how playing an instrument might make them feel. How might it make others feel? How do they think music can make people,and the world, better? How do they thin kmusic makes God feel? Who created music and why? |
Handwriting Practice: M is for Music
This is an optional handwriting worksheet for
children who are ready to practice tracing the
letters of the alphabet. M is for Music and children
can color the letter M, and trace the words. There
is also a picture of a choir making music for the
Lord.

| Music & Movement: Using either the same music from Circle Time or different if preferred, let children draw to the sound of the music. Give each child a large piece of blank paper and two brightly colored oil pastels. Make sure each child has plenty of space. Play each type of music, using a different color for each piece. Encourage children to make marks on their paper to the tempo. Afterward, compare the types of lines and marks the children drew. |
