A typical class for my 3rd, meeting every other day in their classrooms for 40 minutes would be: (sample pieces also named)

1) group singing warm-up with movement (such as "Dr. Knickerbocker" or a scale song)
2) solo activity ("Concentration," "Doggie, Doggie," football warm-up solos)
3) body of lesson (listening, singing, playing, movement, or any combination)
4) review of a favorite movement activity or song choices ("Yankee Doodle" stick-passing game, "Mountain King" hand jive)
