4.0 out of 5 stars great resource, January 11, 2002

This review is from: 120 Singing Games and Dances for Elementary Schools (Spiral-bound)

This book has a wide variety of different musical games, all of which are singing and movement games. Perfect for the Kodaly educator. Many of the games can be found in more readily available and inexpensive resources, however, so try to get titles before you buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it's weight in gold, August 23, 2007

Someone gave me this book my first year of teaching. I have now taught music for 6 years, and have used this book every year. Each song is notated musically, and accompanied by the game and a short introduction as to the origins. I also teach Kindermusik, and can see that many of our activities must have been taken right out of this book. I HIGHLY recommend this book, and although I wish you great luck in finding it for under $100, or at the library, you wont be disappointed if you spend the money.

If you're an elementary music teacher, YOU NEED THIS BOOK! It is a wonderful book, full of tried-and-true tested games, songs and activities which are appropriate for every level from Kindergarten through 6th grade. It is worth every penny. I bought it my first month of teaching and used it for lesson planning constantly. Don't even hesitate - just buy it! You'll be happy.
