Spring Easter Body Percussion & Dance to "The Hopping Song" - Great for K-4

Spring your elementary students up on their feet with this Body Percussion, Dancing, and Singing Activity (with several extension ideas!) this Easter time! This is a Slovakian folk song, and it is not all that well known - making it a unique and FUN way of studying folk songs from around the world. You'll use this resource across many grade levels, and for many years - well worth the small investment! Check out the video preview on this page where I walk you through the resource and show you each page.

I have provided everything you need for a quick and easy prep!

• Dance using the full-color presentation with video and audio links, and a guide to the dance steps (with a video to show you exactly how to do the steps!).
• The black and white version of the entire resource, making it easy to print if you wish!
• Follow an easy-to-read Body Percussion Score!
• Teach the song using the included sheet music (one page!) and lyrics sheet.

If you want to extend the lesson, you can also:

• Use the included map of Slovakia to teach the geography of this song (In my classroom, I have a wall map on my large bulletin board - when we complete a song from a country, we put a pin in it!).
• Use the included quick fact sheet showing the basic information you need if you want to include instruments!

Does this work for a sub? YES! For the dance resource and body percussion resource, the sub does NOT need to know music!

Check out my other body percussion, bucket drumming, and dance resources! My students LOVE THESE, and I believe your students will, too!
