"Ghost of John" is one of the students' favorite Halloween song. Last year they had a great lesson on form and movement that I picked off of "Music is Elementary". So this year, we were just singing it as a warm-up, fun activity for my 5th grade class when all of the sudden I decided to play the cannon version and review what a cannon was. Well they nailed it. Okay...let's put some movement to it..says my Orff training...bingo..I handed out the scarves and we picked four different movement. It looked so good I decided to video....well then the students wanted to add throwing the scarves, and sitting and standing. It truly came together in five minutes time. Great job Mrs. Johnson's group! Not bad for an impromptu "Ghost of John" lesson. Music can be fun.
