Christmas Tap and Sing
|
Cast students (up to 15 faces) and sing the Christmas classics. Then use the notes, chords and melodies you’ve learned to compose your own festive tunes!
|
It’s two rows of silly robots who each sing a single note. You can have students sing, “bum,” “la,” “do-re-mi,” or “A-B-C.” One idea is to have students put it on solfege and play simple melodies from the projector

Christmas Stories: Nutcracker Collector's Edition HD |
This app is a hidden-object puzzle adventure game. The Nutcracker needs your help, and there’s an army of rats running rampant through the kingdom.
|
The graphics are beautiful and the music is authentic. The story is loosely based but overall the app is highly engaging for students in it's game play qualities. This app is a good follow-up activity when learning about Tchaik's Nutcracker Ballet. Caution--because of it's graphics and videos it is a large app.
