Materials:

1. Up - Opening song - “Say, What a Day!” 

2. Up - “Line and Space Notes” Song. Use 3 straws per person. During the dance break of the song, have the children stand on 1 straw (line note) or between the 2 straws (space note) as it is called out. Cartoon characters demonstrate. Line notes should have the straw under the middle of the foot. Space notes - feet between the straws. Hop off the straws during the drum break. 

3. Down - Do “Line and Space Notes” page. 

4. Up - Review - Play “Happy Birthday to Bob” at the piano.* 

*Disclaimer: Video Error - DO NOT copy the hand position. My mistake. I was trying to do puppetry and show the characters on the keys so the kids could see the landscape without my hand in the way. I didn’t realize that children would try and copy the hand position I came up with for operating puppets on video. Lesson learned thanks to parental feedback but, not before we did several videos which cannot be refilmed. Sorry!!
