Earth Day - This Pretty Planet
This year, marks 50 years of Earth Day—April 22—marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.
By the end of that year, the first Earth Day had led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts.
Earth Day has reached its current status as the largest secular observance in the world, celebrated by more than a billion people every year, and a day of action that changes human behavior and provokes policy changes.
This Pretty Planet by Tom Chapin
This pretty planet, spinning through space
You're a garden, you're a harbor
You're a holy place.
Golden sun going down
Gentle blue giant, spin us around.
All through the night
Safe 'till the morning light.
This pretty planet, spinning through space
You're a garden, you're a harbor
You're a holy place.
Golden sun going down
Gentle blue giant, spin us around.
All through the night
Safe 'till the morning light.

Down By the Bay
Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow
Back to my home, I dare not go.
For if I do, my mother will say,
“Did you ever see a goose kissing a moose, down by the bay?”
“Did you ever see a whale with a polka-dot tail, down by the bay?”
“Did you ever see a fly wearing a tie, down by the bay?”
“Did you ever see a bear combing his hair, down by the bay?”
“Did you ever see llamas eating their pajamas, down by the bay?”
“Did you ever see a pig dancing a jig, down by the bay?”
“Did you ever see a lamb cooking a ham, down by the bay?”
“Did you ever see a cat fly like a bat, down by the bay?”
“Did you ever see a dog hopping like a frog, down by the bay?”
“Did you ever have a time when you couldn’t make a rhyme,
down by the bay?”

Movement: Statues
This is a fun filler game when I am talking about rhythm and tempo.
All the students have to spread out so that they are not touching anyone or anything. They then make a pose as if they were a statue and cannot move until they hear the drum sound.
They have to listen to the beat of the drum and can only move once for every beat.
They cannot touch anyone in the room during this or they are out and they must not be moving when the drum is not playing.
Using it with tempo, speed up and slow down the beat of the drum each time and have them match the speed of their movements to the tempo of the drum.
Music Education: Vibration
Vibration: The rapid back-and-forth movement, often invisible, in space of an object against which some force has been applied.
