Words to Use:

Songwriter – someone who writes a song

Microphone – a tool that makes your voice or an instrument sound louder.

Simplify:

Don’t make up your own song — just stick with singing ones you know and love.

Stretch:

See if your song can rhyme. You can come up with your own tune or set your song to a known melody like “Old MacDonald” or “Twinkle Twinkle.”

Why:

It takes a lot of brain power to come up with songs, write the music, learn the songs, and perform them. This activity will help kids think about what it takes to be a musician — and grow important skills.

Extend The Learning:

Listen to a playlist of Molly’s greatest hits for inspiration!
