Word Puzzles

Crossword Puzzle – Use this idea for a Choose and Review of one particular song.            
           
Take keywords from the 4-8 phrases of the song, number them in phrase order, and draw a crossword puzzle created from them onto a large piece of paper or directly onto the chalkboard.  (Optional: provide numbered clues or word bank)  Have the pianist play the first phrase of the song.  That could be the first clue for keyword #1.  If they need more clues you could offer a synonym or short clue, or sing the phrase leaving out the keyword.  Have the child who guesses correctly come up and write the word onto the crossword puzzle.  Continue playing and singing until the entire puzzle is completed and the song is reviewed to satisfaction.

Word Scramble – Place word strips or keywords in random fashion all over the chalkboard or around the room or under the seats of the children.  Sing and review the song several times allowing the children time to try to put the words in the correct order on the chalkboard.  If they do not get it right the first time, ask other children to come up to fix it.  Continue singing and rearranging until everything is placed and sung correctly.
