My K5 - 5th grade music classes last for 50 minutes. This is an extremely long time to have 5- and 6-year-olds. One song that seems to be very useful as a reward and an extra activity is "Cha Cha Slide." It can be found in any music store that sells popular music. This is also a good way to teach the students to follow dance steps as well as directions and rhythm.
