An Apple for the Teacher! Look Who’s Back!

Posted by Lynn Kleiner April 23, 2018 - Filed in Activities - #lynn kleiner #Early Childhood Music Program #Early Childhood Music #early childhood #music rhapsody #Lynn Kleiner's Music Box #worms #Early Childhood Lesson Plans #early childhood music education #early childhood music educator #early childhood music lessons #worm in the apple #lots of worms - 2,550 views

Yes! Its true! The Worm in the Apple puppet is back! Its been a long time without him and the homemade models just didn’t have the same personality.

For years, we used our magic apple to learn the children’s names at the beginning of the year and get participation from day one! We sang “Come on out now Wiggly Woo, I will sing my name to you.” Or if you don’t need to learn names, they can sing “Hello” and the delightful wiggly worm will appear. See Page 98 in Kids Make Music, Babies Make Music Too.

Crowd Control: I recently took full advantage of our new Worm in the Apple for some calming of a room full of excited K students. I told them if it was super quiet, I thought something would come out of the hole in the apple. Oh my, so quiet!

Echo Singing: Then I had a conversation with the Worm in the Apple and explained to the children that I would sing something (it was our new song for the lesson). When the worm came out, it was their turn to sing it back (echo). So the worm helped me with echo singing and no one sang early! They all waited for the worm to come out before singing! So fun.

Then the worm showed us when to wiggle (when he was out) and when to stop and FREEZE (when he was hiding outside. This music is the BEST! Lots of Worms from Farm Songs! Have a listen!

Farm Songs and The Sounds of Moo-sic!

There's also a song I adapted from one I discovered in a book called "This Little Puffin."

There's a worm in the bottom of my apple, and his name is Wiggley Woo

There's a worm in the bottom of my apple, and all that he can do is....

Wiggle all day and wiggle all night, eating the apple out of sight

There's a worm in the bottom of my apple, and his name is Wiggley Woo.
