A Bugz Christmas!
Hello music teachers! I haven’t blogged in a while because I am currently in the middle of my school year and just finished a 4th grade musical called Gotta Be Jazz.
Now it is time to begin working on the 2nd Grade musical, A Bugz Christmas! My 2nd graders listened to the entire musical and learned the first song today… they LOVE it! And I do too! This musical is not only enjoyable to kids, but for teachers and parents too! Here is what www.musick8.com has to say about this catchy musical:
“The bugz are ready for the Christmas program infestation. The carpenter bees have built the sets, and the silkworms have made the costumes. Oh, no! The termites just chewed up the Christmas tree decorations and ate the lights! What are the bugz to do? This musical show features the clever writing of John Jacobson and John Higgins with five songs in a variety of musical styles, easy rhyming dialog with 45 speaking parts and additional non-speaking parts, all adaptable to casts of varying sizes, and teaching objectives linked to the National Standards for each song. Simple movement, staging, and costume tips are also provided to help stage a successful performance, even when time is limited. Songs include: A Bugz Christmas, We’re Hungry!, No Christmas Lights, Light Up The Tree, and The Twelve Bugs Of Christmas. (20 min., Grades K-3)”
