GAMEPLAN Complete K-5 Curriculum

This complete GAMEPLAN curriculum set includes all curriculum books and Charts & Visuals sets for grades K-5, as well as the GAMEBOARD.

GAMEPLAN Curriculum

This is an active music curriculum for children, organized chronologically (Sept-May) with 4 lessons per month, each with approximately 60 minutes of activities. The curriculum embraces several music philosopies, including the principles of Orff Schulwerk and the Kodály approach to reading rhythm and melody.

Each grade level includes:

• Experiences in imitation, exploration, improvisation, and visualization
• Repertoire rich in folk literature, nursery rhymes and traditional singing games
• A yearly plan categorizing objectives in 5 conceptual areas (rhythm, melody, harmony, form, timbre)
• Many song arrangements using barred Orff instruments, percussion, and/or recorders
• Written assessments

 Each grade has correlating picture books (picture books are not included with this set).

GAMEPLAN Charts & Visuals & Digital Supplements

Labeled and organized for storage, the over 200 pieces in each optional package support the GAMEPLAN curriculum.

Each set includes:

• Spiral-bound charts
• Sets of flash cards
• Shape cards for form
