Typewriter/Sound Exploration Lesson Plan for Kindergarten
Submitted by Carol, Iowa
Idea posted 2013-10-16
This is about a 20 minute lesson:
- I explained what a typewriter is and showed about 1.5 minutes of a YouTube video of a person typing on an old manual Olympus typewriter.
- We talked about the sounds it made, and then I showed a video clip of Leroy Anderson's "The Typewriter."
- I passed out rhythm sticks, and we read "Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type" and "Giggle, Giggle, Quack" by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewis. We "typed" the notes and made all of the animal sounds.
It was simple, but I liked it as a sound exploration lesson. The students were enthralled with the typewriter.
