Pinterest is one of my most favorite websites to find activities to do with my own children and for my future classroom. This specific link is to a coin song. The coin song helps children to learn the value of coins (penny, nickel, dime, quarter). Activities that can be done with this song would be having children count money. This would be great for the end of Kinder and for 1st grade and up.
This website gives ideas on how to use music in the classroom, and identifies activities to use with each idea. The grade levels these activities are directed to are 3rd - 12th grade. A few of the ideas is listening to world music, and having students try to identify the area of the world in which the music originates, and marking it on a map. Another in teaching about vibration by making a rubber band banjo. There are many more to look over these are just a few that I thought I would like.
A cell transport song with a slide show for 6th grade science. He has many songs about science that he and students help put together to popular songs. Catchy tunes with slide show pictures. I could see it helping students understand the concepts better.
A bulletin board that shares how music can help in all subject areas. Math, Language, History, Reading, and Science.
This blog has a number of various music activities. One that interested me was teaching verbs using music verbs- sing, dance, compose, move, etc.
Picking songs to read and help with fluency and vocabulary.
Lesson plans, resources and classroom design that helps to integrate music and curriculum in the classroom.
This is a site that has some lesson plans to use music when teaching math. I really liked the one with shapes using the hokey pokey and the music for multiplication facts with the song skip to my lou- this one also works with rhyming and helping students use their own imagination to come up with lines.
Great ideas for how to use the ukulele in the classroom with a variety of age groups: Kindergarden, 2nd and 6th grade. I like how the teacher engages the 6th graders and keeps them involved, this is a tough age group to work with.
The Uke n’ Roll program looks like a great program to implement. This video basically talks about the importance and ease of incorporating the uke into everyday classroom activities.
I chose this video (despite being on youtube) because it targets activity to upper elementary. The activity that would apply best to my students would be the “Do the Beat Box” as I believe it would be the one they find most interesting. The activity can be done using other objects if musical instruments are not available.
James Hill ukulele initiative is a teacher training program to teach music teachers how to teach the ukulele in the classroom.
Elementary classroom singing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer".
Online music games.
A 1st/2nd/3rd grade activity that teaches about rhythm. You can also expand on it in multiple different ways.
Mark Taylor, director of Rhythmically Speaking, prepares a primary school class for Samba ensemble work with a simple rhythm game.
This video was filmed as part of the Art of Teaching Project developed by MusicTeachers.co.uk and the Musicians' Union to show inspiring, professional teachers giving insights into the way they work.

This is a classic song of call and repeat and the kids get to practice being loud and quiet based on the music. They learn through a fun song the principles of dynamic levels. It also teaches them to be able to identify them on their own by the exercise after the song/rhyme.
