There's a great couple of books out.
One is called Quick Starts for Young Choirs.
Fabulous.
[E] Another one that I'm going to be pulling from a lot today is Gadgets for Great Singing.
If [Bb] I was talking to a new teacher, I would buy both of these books to that [Eb] person.
Okay?
So here's some of those things.
Laser Tag.
[N] If you have boys in your choir, this will be their favorite thing.
What you need to do is, every three people, the one in the middle sits and the two on the side stand.
So can you just do that?
I know you're going to spread out.
But right here, you're going to stand, you're going to sit, you're going to stand.
And you're going to point at her.
Alright?
So, whatever.
[E] So, Laser Tag.
Now, first of all, you probably can't use this gun finger in your school.
I haven't figured out how to readapt [Ebm] it.
For the moment, [E] we're going to use it and then [Ebm] we'll get creative and figure out how to do it.
[B] Now look at the other person [Bb] and you're going to pretend to shoot [Ebm] your Laser Tag gun by going beep, beep, beep, beep, [Eb] beep, beep, beep on one breath.
And [E] whoever can last the longest wins.
[G] The person sitting in the [Abm] middle is a judge.
Why are we doing this?
It's breath control [N] for kids in a very fun way.
In order to do this, it has to come from here.
You [E] ready?
One breath and
[Eb] [Ab]
[Am] One breath?
Oh my gosh!
[Gb] [E] Keep going, Tate.
Who's going to be the last one in the room?
One breath still.
Oh [G] my gosh!
Give her a [Eb] hand.
Whoa!
Alright, cool.
[N]
Then what would happen is the judge would stand up
and they would challenge the winner.
Next one is row, row, row your boat.
So let's stand and let's sing row, row, row your boat.
Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.
Now sing it in your head, but do the P.F. sound.
One, two, row your boat.
Right?
And then you can do that with T.S.K.
Ready and
Feel that?
[E] Alright!
[A] [N]
Very cool!
Alright, so that's in here.
And then the soul fish fact
No, let's do this one first.
Daddy's got a head like a ping pong ball.
[Eb] Daddy's got a head [C] like a ping pong ball.
See, see?
[Eb] Oh, I didn't tell you what [E] tune we're doing.
That would be helpful.

Ready [N] and
Daddy's got a head like a ping pong ball.

Ping pong, ping pong, ping pong, ping pong, [N] ping pong, ping pong.
And you get [Eb] the idea and you can do that in [N] a round.
And then that ping pong thing gets crazy and you go, you know, faster.
So, another
great warm up that works with kids because it's fun, [Eb] right?
And they have a good time.
Right, while you're still standing, the sole fits back.
So, most [N] of you probably
already know this.
Let's see again.
