Creative ideas Gr.4, 5 and 6 (2020-21 version): Organized by topic
2020-21 was quite a year. We all faced very new challenges. From teaching in-person but without instruments or singing, to teaching via Zoom or other torturous online platforms.....

These are more appropriate for Grades 4-8. You can also find the same lists, but organized by topic in my store. Enjoy!
