Clap That Tune

This is a great listening game and they DO have to know the songs. Instead of "Name That Tune," we are going to "Clap That Tune." Print the names of several songs on pieces of paper. You can use cute paper shapes -- flowers, kites, suns, stars, etc. or just strips of paper. You can also make 2 or 3 strips of the same song so the children can sing it more than once. Put the papers in a bag, basket, etc. for the children to draw from. Make sure that you have enough time to sing all the songs at least once.

Have children take turns drawing a piece of paper. Then the child that draws must clap the rhythm of the song and see who can guess the correct song. Sing the song. If there are more than one verse, sing both verses or if time permits, put the paper back in and next time sing the second verse.

Great for reviewing!
