"THE CYCLE OF THE SUNFLOWER"
We've been so enjoying this activity in my Montessori music classes throughout the week! Here is a little excerpt from Kiran's Montessori Preschool featuring Lesson #6 from my eCourse, Musically Montessori: First Twelve Weeks.
In the video, I demonstrate the activity using an Orff-Schulwerk style glockenspiel. However, in the Montessori classroom, you can use the lovely Montessori brass bells.
It may be a bit of a surprise to hear that even my Kindergarteners through Lower Elementary groups enjoy this sweet little musical scale activity! With the older groups, one of the children actually played up and down the Glockenspiel and the other children sang with me.

Of course, the younger groups (even the 2 yr olds) responded with: "Again!"
Later in the lesson, we played bells and moved them upwards while singing up the scale and then downwards while singing down the scale.
