New Boomwhacker Play-Along for Older Elementary: I Want Candy

Get ready to rock with this boomwhacker play-along for older elementary students, featuring the fun tune "I Want Candy" by Berns, Feldman, Goldstein, and Gottehrer, performed by Kidz Bop. This is a perfect jam to bring out during the Halloween season, as it's all about sweet treats and no mention of spooky stuff.

*Pro Tips:**

Here are some great tips to help your students successfully perform the song:

• The note B is a rare bird in this tune, so be on the lookout.

• There's a fun syncopated rhythm that repeats throughout the video. Try practicing and highlighting that rhythm before tackling the full song. You can find it at the 0:23 second mark.

• If the tempo is too fast, don't fret! YouTube's playback speed settings can slow things down to a manageable pace.

  Manipulatives

  I created manipulatives so that your students can practice the pitch patterns slowly before playing along with the play-along video.
