I did "Autumn Leaf" (from Music K-8, Vol. 11, No. 1) with K today. I told them to raise their hands when they didn't hear any voices. Then, I told them to make their hands fall like leaves on the chorus part. Then, we listened a second time and I gave them streamers (fall colors) that they floated on the chorus part. They had a good time, and it looked neat all in a circle with the streamers.
