Sub Plans
As I was teaching First Grade this morning, I received a call from my daughter's daycare. She was running a fever of 102.5 and was not doing well. Thankfully I was able to get a sub and had my sub binder/sub tub ready to go!
As a music teacher, it is very rare to have a music sub. I use a wide variety of centers, music games, worksheets and cooperative group activities for my sub plans. I'm always looking for other great ideas that music teachers use for their subs.
Here are a few great ideas:
1. Pair and Share
I just purchased a subscription to the magazine and can't wait to make some of these for new sub plans. It will be neat to see what students learn!
2. Fifty Nifty United States
This song gets stuck in my head whenever I have taught it. Students will enjoy the challenge of identifying the states, hearing the song and then finding the states in a word search.
3. Music Treasure Hunters
I purchased this board game specifically for use with subs. It is a great way for students to learn new information and review information they already know.
