Kindergarten Music -5 Image Opening Day Activity

Album Description

In kindergarten, I teach the poplar French work, Carnival of the Animals, by French composer Camille Saint Saens. The students begin this month long unit around the end of the 3rd quarter. The five images posted below are images of some animals they may hear representative music of in this unit. In this specific activity for the beginning of the year I will post all 5 images at once on a slide and I will tell the students "I will play a short clip of music for you and I want you think really hard which animal this music sides most like to you." The students may have different reasons for picking different animals but this is totally acceptable because the primary goal is t o engage the imagination and get them listening to music in a more purposeful way. Then when it's time for the Carnival of the Animals unit, I can reflect on this activity. This activity is most certainly acceptable for grades above Kindergarten and could be modified.  Pre K - 2 Art/Music
