Candle Burning Bright Preschool Music Lesson Plan 10

Wondering about the forces of nature is high on the list of favorite things for the 3 and 4 year-old. The flickering candle flame gives light and heat but it also offers danger so it needs to be managed reverently and safely. We use them often for birthdays so try this new one – Ten Little Candles. Candles are for special occasions like this Lantern Song. And, most importantly, they give light in darkness as in this lovely song – Sends a Rainbow. So here is a lesson that fosters natural curiosity about fire and light and at the same time pays tribute to the technology of candles. They are an important contribution to human advancement. Add this one to your “child calming” bank of resources—download it today. We’re so convinced that we’ll give you a refund withing 31 days of purchase if you don’t find it calming.

What you’ll gain by using this teaching resource

1. Happy and responsive preschoolers aged 3-5 who develop their cognitive skills by thinking about the stimulating new content you introduce and by playfully solving musical problems like – making sound from instruments; keeping up with the beat; responding to cues to start and stop moving, singing and playing
2. Wonderful music sessions specifically designed to stimulate language development in preschoolers aged 3-5 – you’ll find this plan is full of intriguing ideas that spark creative thinking and music-making
3. A delightful way to monitor and assess children’s physical development as they handle the instruments, move their small muscles in the games and move their whole body through space in time in the drama and dance activities
4. Friendly preschoolers who learn how to self-regulate their social and emotional expressions – so important for self-understanding and getting along with others during this crucial stage of development
5. Enormous benefits in language development from the songs because the children learn new vocabulary, become better listeners and tune in to the rhythm of the words in more and more complex sentences (the parents will wonder how you taught their child to sing so many songs to the point where they burst into song and make up their own!)
6. You feel confident teaching your group because the lesson is prepared in advance so that you are able to successfully lead the children and if something does go wrong, you have another activity ready so you can engage the preschoolers in a completely new fun thing to do. (Instead of cringing over disastrous moments you can tell your colleagues how you saved the situation in a flash!)
7. You save hours of weekend and evening lesson planning time – no more homework time spent writing down the learning opportunities, finding the music, thinking up activities appropriate for the age, working out a topic that brings everything together – it’s all done for you in one neat package.
