Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)

Question: Does this bundle require lots of prep?

Answer: I created each set so that it would require little prep. The worksheets can be easily printed to use with students, and the games can simply be opened up. The manipulatives and pattern match cards do require some prep, but then you will have them for years to come!

Question: Does this bundle require technology?

Answer: Many of the materials in this set can be used without technology. The games can be used with simply a LCD projector and/or interactive white board. There are Easel assessments included as an option; information is included in each set about how to use Easel.

Question: Which programs do I need to open up the files?

Answer: The materials come in a zipped folder. Once you unzip, you'll need the following programs to open:

• Adobe Reader
• PowerPoint
• Google Slides

Here are some reviews from the individual sets:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Such a tremendous help with planning appropriate songs and activities for this year! It has actually been fun plugging in all these new songs/activities into my yearly planning outline this year! For once, I may actually have to cut down what I have rather than scraping things together at the last minute! Thank you thank you thank you!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "These bundles are awesome! They have given me so much help in planning out the year using more Kodaly this year. (I'm an Orff-trained teacher who sees the benefits of both systems working together!) All of your resources have been a tremendous help!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "As usual, wonderfully organized and beautifully prepared. Thank you!"
