Lesson Plan: Soldiers

October 25, 2015 By Sara Mullett Leave a Comment

Kids love marching to music, and this Soldiers lesson plan gives them plenty of opportunity for some lively movement with lots of learning too. It’s a great lesson to practice contrasting pitches and tempos tapping rhythms and banging drums.

This lesson plan is suitable for children from 2 – 6  years and is 11 pages long, including 6 printables. If you’re looking for more themes, check out the rest of the lesson plans here.

The Soldiers lesson plan focuses on the following activities:

  • Chime bars practice with resonator bells – Do-Re-Mi
  • Tapping rhythms, recognising notation, and contrasting dynamics
  • Playing a variety of percussion instruments, listening skills, recognising steady beat and the rhythm.
  • Singing together, actions and motor skills
  • Counting practice and building confidence

The Soldiers lesson plan is now available to download using the button below.

These plans are not intended to read as a script, as everyone will have their own teaching style. More, I hope that they will provide you with in-depth guidance for a number of related activities that I have found in my years of teaching to be particularly effective and engaging combinations.

Here’s what people are saying about the Lesson Plan series!

“I downloaded the clocks and mice lesson plan and LOVED it. I’d like to start a music program in my classroom based on your lessons. I’d love to buy 30-40 lessons from you to fill up an entire school year if I could!”

“I am starting my first preschool music class next week and I need your website! :)”

“Thanks so much for all your hard work on this website and in putting together such great activities and lessons. I have been following the first piano lessons and easy pieces for the last couple of months with my six and four year old. I learnt oboe for seven years and my piano is pretty basic but these lessons have been so easy and fun to follow…and teach!”
