Who, What, and How Singing Time

Today we played the "Who, What, and How" game. I have these cubes for this game.

In the what cube I put the program songs that we have worked on this year and the last one was a free choice.

The who cube gave options for who sang- kids, teachers, if you have a pet, etc.

The how cube had things like eyes wide open, lights out, etc.

This was a great way to change things up and give everyone a turn.

I found most the options for our cubes at http://ocdprimarychorister.blogspot.com.
