Grades 1-3 * Creative movement is the focus of these simple melodies, each of which highlights a particular animal and its particular, sometimes peculiar, way of moving. Movement suggestions that reinforce steady beat, phrase and other rudimentary concepts are provided, but there are plenty of opportunities for students to express themselves through their own movements. Many of these come compliments of the lively and inventive recordings on the included Performance/Accompaniment CD, several of which have extended instrumental sections designed specifically to facilitate creative movement. Here come the penguins (and kangaroos and lions and crocodiles and monkeys and more) on parade!
