IDA RED SONG & GAME

Ida Red

How to play: Students sit in a circle and one student is chosen to be the mail carrier. The mail carrier picks 2 cards (a red and blue one) from the bag. They walk around the circle carrying the two envelopes while the class sings the song. At the end, the mail carrier stops in front of two students. Each student gets an envelope and inside are slips of paper each with a different way they could travel around the circle. Those 2 students go opposite ways, moving like the card they received. Eg. Bear crawl, crab walk, speed walk, skip…. Choose a new mail carrier and continue on with rounds.

I HOPE I GET A LETTER SONG AND GAME

I Hope I Get a Letter

How to play:  You will need a bag, cards inside labeled #1-5 plus your choice, percussion instrument (eg. tubano in the center of the circle); All students sit in circle.  Choose 1 student to be the mail carrier.  Sing the song as the mail carrier walks around the circle.  At the end of the song, the mail carrier pulls a card that matches one of the rhythms on the board and the student they are closest too goes to the drum and plays the rhythm.  Everyone else is keeping the beat on their knees.
