Instructions:
- Draw this chart on the chalkboard or whiteboard.
- Say, “Here are the rules: 1) erase one word that is NOT in the song 2) hand the eraser to a friend 3) no talking. See if you can finish before I sing the song 4 times.”
- Hand two children an eraser and start singing.
- If a word gets erased that IS in the song, quietly write it again. Don’t make a big deal about it. Don’t stop singing or say anything about it.
- Extender activity: when the children have finished, challenge them to sing ONLY the words on the board. You sing the rest. Then switch. This is lots of fun!
**This activity is better for older children who can read.
**If you don’t have a board, you can print out a chart and give it to partners with a pencil. They can cross off the words instead of erasing them. I have also seen it where the words are printed and attached to the board and the children remove one word at a time instead of erasing.
Why do I love this activity?
- I love that it teaches and clarifies words in the song without sounding like you are reading out of a dictionary.
- I love that the children get to SEE the words of the song in an ACTIVE learning activity without the lyrics being handed to them (which is a very PASSIVE learning activity.)
- This activity is super easy and takes nearly no preparation.
