Alliteration, Motor Skills, and Decision Making using this fun song ‘Back To School’

This song can be used anytime children are returning to the classroom – after summer vacation or other breaks throughout the year. It gives them a limited period of time to enter the room, put their backpacks, lunches, coats, and other items away and get ready for the start of class before the song ends.

This lesson includes learning terms like SOLO, DUET, TRIO, QUARTET, and enhancing those very important gross motor skills.

Extended learning could include a lesson on ALLITERATION. It’s also a great song to use rhythm instruments. (If you’ll listen closely, a different rhythm instrument is used on each verse of the song.)

Workbook Exercises:

  • ‘Back to School’ Coloring Page – A picture of a teacher enthusiastically welcoming students to the classroom. (And they’re excited to be back to school as well!)

  • Hidden Back-To-School Items – There are six back-to-school items in this song that are hidden in the picture. Can you find all six of them? Circle each item when you locate it in the picture. After you’ve located all six items, you can then color the picture.

  • Fill Your Backpack – What items would you put in your backpack to get ready for school?  Around the outside of the drawing of the backpack, draw a picture of each item. If you choose, you can then write the name for each item beside it.

  • Identify the Groupings – Label each picture as a SOLO, DUET, TRIO, or QUARTET, then color the pictures. (Answer key is provided.)

  • Word Scramble – All of the words listed in Column One are words from the song BACK TO SCHOOL. These same words are in Column Two, but they have been scrambled. Unscramble the words in Column Two. Write the correct word in the spaces below the scrambled word. Make a checkmark ✔ in front of the word in Column One after you have correctly unscrambled it in Column Two. (Answer key is provided.)

It’s FUN for classroom teachers, music educators, homeschoolers and students!
