Grab a blanket and a couple paper plates for each listener if you can! As always, props are optional, but will enhance the engagement and fun!

Today we share 2 activities that come straight from our “Winter Expedition with Vivaldi and Friends” music course. If you enjoyed the activities and want to experience the rest of the fun, you can join us at www.clapforclassics.com/fourseasons.  Our Four Seasons curriculum is more than just music, it also includes art, poetry, and STEM units.

To hear the 1st movement of Vivaldi’s Winter concerto, check out last week’s episode here.

1. Our first activity is a Clap for Classics! Original written by Kathryn Lieppman. You’ll need your blanket to take your little one on a ride at the end of the song! Have fun waddling and sliding on your tummy with us.

Waddle waddle here and there

Waddle waddle everywhere

And when I need to take a break

From waddling to and fro

I get down on my tummy and say

Ready - Set - Go!

2. You’ll need your paper plate ice skates for this activity. We listen to the wintry music of Vivaldi’s 3rd movement of the “Winter” concerto. We imagine skating, the ice cracking, a hot chocolate break, and then see what you can imagine happening at the end of the piece.
