This lesson, featuring a children’s book by Rachel Isadora, uses Keetman’s Rhythmic Building Bricks to identify the rhythm. Students then use “hellos” in different languages to compose an eight-beat body percussion composition.
Suggested Grades: K-2
Simplify your planning with pre-made visuals! The PowerPoint slides coincide with the Say Hello lesson to provide a seamless experience for your students. The corresponding card decks features children in tradition dress saying Hello in their native languages and a second set that includes rhythm notation. Finally, the worksheet supports students in the compositional process and provides tangible evidence for parents and administrators.
Post the cards featuring children in tradition dress saying Hello in their native languages in your classroom and greet your students in a different language every week! Better yet – change up your traditional hello songs to include other languages!
The Say Hello lesson plan is available for FREE as a Lesson Sketch. Sample visuals are provided in this Blueprint for your convenience.
