![]() ![]() My choir plays “host” to the school for the sing-along. Many teachers said it helped to frame the day in a positive way for their students. We moved it to the first thing in the morning on the day before break and it was a game changer. ![]() We used to host it as the final event of the day and my friends, the students struggled to keep it together. Now it’s time to start preparing your students for the sing-along! Wait – what were MY answers to the questions? Well, I’ve done it a variety of ways. Once you’ve thought through these questions, you’re ready to start the preparation phase! Will this be a student-event only or will parents be invited to attend as well? Will you have enough space/seating for parents if they attend?.(Psss…earlier is better!) Make sure to communicate your schedule to avoid conflicts with room parties and celebrations! If your sing-along is on the last day of school, how will it affect holiday party schedules? I’ve hosted my sing-alongs both the first hour of the day and the last hour of the day.Will you accompany the sing-along or have accompaniment tracks for each song? Do you have someone to operate the sound system?.Will you expect students to memorize the songs, have booklets, or sing from a slideshow? Do you have the tech or resources to support the choice you make?.Will grade levels or groups perform individual songs, or will it be a true sing-along with everyone singing the entire time?.What is the makeup of your school? Will the sing-along highlight Christmas only or celebrate a wide array of holidays?.Where is the sing-along going to be held? Is the space large enough to host the entire school? Or do you need to split it into a K-2/3-5 event?.Here are some questions that will help you decide how to structure your sing-along. With anything you want to do well, you need to start with a plan. ![]()
