Description
This lesson theme is Clocks and Mice, a 30 minute music lesson plan for children from 2 1/2 to 5 years old and it is 7 pages long, including 2 printables.
The Clocks and Mice lesson focuses on:
- Singing
- Recognising the steady beat
- Tapping rhythms
- Introduction to notation (minims/half notes, crotchets/ quarter notes and quavers/ eighth notes)
- Learning to recognise and pitch the So-Mi interval with resonator bells
- Listening skills
- Building confidence
- Using tone blocks and a variety of percussion instruments
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.
The Clocks & Mice lesson is also available as part of our seasonal bundle of lesson plans for the Autumn/Fall term 12 weeks of music lessons in suggested weekly order to help save time and keep things simple at the discounted price of $49
I have purchased every lesson you have available and LOVE them all!! I lead music classes for toddlers and preschoolers and I love how each of your lessons builds on each other. They are easy to adapt for the different ages. The parents of my students love that their kids are learning early music education while having a blast and that the kids go home and sing and stomp out rhythms. I would highly recommend your plans to everyone. And I look forward to seeing the other lessons.

It was such a relief to come across your site! This will be my first full year teaching a music class so being able to just order the lesson plan ( and at such an affordable price) saves me so much time.

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. Is there a way to purchase more than one lesson at a time from you? I’d love to buy 30-40 lessons from you to fill up an entire school year if I could!
