Warm-ups
  • Key Stage 1
  • Year 1
  • Music
Let's begin by warming up our bodies, because we know how important it is to warm up before we start making music and singing. We'll begin with a stretch, arms high into the air, onto our tiptoes, hold onto a monkey bar, and we are going to not let go of that monkey bar, but we are going to lower our heels to the ground, so we're going to get taller. Lowering to the count of four. Here we go, one, two, three, four, gosh, you're all super tall. Drop your fingers and your wrists, and your elbows and your shoulders. Relax your knees and go. (blows raspberries) (everyone blows raspberries) Very good, let's do that one more time. Stretch up onto your tiptoes. Hold onto the monkey bar, lowering our heels to the count of four, going one, two, three, four. Gosh, you're so tall now. Drop your fingers and your wrists, and your elbows and your shoulders. Relax your knees and (blows raspberries). (everyone blows raspberries) Very good. Now, let's take up as much space as we can. Make a really, really big space, huge shapes, and we are going to shrink down into a teensy, tiny shape. Tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny. Make a little seed, and we are now going to grow back to a big shape. Are you ready? One, two, three, go. Grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow and relax. <v ->Let's learn how to breathe like a singer. </v> I want you to imagine that your body is a balloon. If you were a balloon, I wonder what color you would be. What color would you be? <v ->Blue. </v> <v ->You'd be blue, okay. </v> So some of you are blue balloons, you might be a different color. We're gonna blow up our balloons by breathing in like a singer. Are you ready? (breath whooshing) And out. (breath whooshing) This time, let's see if we can make our balloon even bigger by making sure we get lots of air into our lungs, keeping our shoulders down. Are you ready? (breath whooshing) Let's try one more. (breath whooshing) Oh no, I've let my balloon go. <v Everyone>Zuu. </v> Zoop. Follow me. (everyone vocalizes) (everyone vocalizes) (everyone vocalizes) Let's sing Che Che Koolay three times, each time with a different dynamic. Don't forget to sing the response. Ready, steady, off we go.
