SONG TEACHING STEPS

“Run, Run, Shepherds”1. Listen and move.

• Have children stand in a line, placing yourself at the front as the leader and placing another adult at the end.

• Play Demo 10, and lead children to perform a “slow-motion” run around the room by stepping to the quarter-note beat and moving arms as if running during Section A (meas. 5-12).

• Have children stop during Section B (meas. 13-21), and pretend to rock Baby Jesus on the half-note beat.

• Have children resume “slow-motion” running after measure 21.

2. Teach the melody pattern in measure 5.• Sing measures 5-12.

• Ask children who was running and why. (The shepherds were running to see Baby Jesus.)
