White Dove

Music
Children sit down on the floor. Give each child a large sheet of newsprint paper (or newspaper) and crayon or felt tip pen. Play the song – scribble in time to the music.
Ask children how the music makes them feel? E.g. relaxed, peaceful, sleepy. The colour tone or timbre is the specific sound quality of a voice or instrument.

Dance
Explore the dance movements to suit the mood (the atmosphere or feelings associated with a piece of music or song) of the song. E.g. gentle and delicate; slow and gradual; flowing and soft etc. Children dance within their own ‘space bubble.’

Drama
Look around in your room. Play “I spy with my little eye…”
