know that yet).
Musical Concept: Audiation
Standards Being Addressed:

Materials of Instruction:

**For this activity I would say, “Bo Bo,” but actually sing the given solfege. I was given this activity idea from
Haley Conway during my student teaching semester**

Lesson Sequence:
Entry activity - Students will enter the classroom and quietly sit in their spots.
1) Demonstrate solfege with Bo Bo the tennis ball

sing.”
i) Mi-So-Mi-So (students echo each time)
ii) Mi-So-La-So
iii) So-So-Mi-La
iv) So-So-Mi-Mi

vii) Do-So-Do

Assessment:
- Can they correctly echo back my patterns?
- Are they having problems matching my beginning pitches?
- Can they follow directions?
- Are they participating with Bo Bo?

Transition - “Give yourself a pat on the back for doing an awesome job with Bo Bo!”
