Irresistible songs for early grades! Holiday Sounds We Found All Year 'Round joins the two highly successful previous editions Sounds We Found and More Sounds We Found. In each of these songs children play “found sounds” – shaken soda bottles one third full of water, glass bottles filled with water and tapped with spoons, the whirring of a button strung on dental floss, and shaken sugar packets – to accompany their singing. The 10 songs in this collection cover almost every holiday occasion throughout the year: Columbus Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Chinese New Year, Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Cinco de Mayo and a tribute to Johnny Appleseed. Instructions are provided for the sounds used with each song and the songs cover a variety of styles including a sea chantey, country, blues, Lindy and others. Grades K-3.
