Easter Egg Song
D.Hollingworth
Easter Egg Match Up
Hide one of each of the matching Easter eggs around the room and have an Easter
egg hunt. Children should sit down when they have found one egg (or however
many you have allocated for each child to fnd.)
Have the matching eggs in a basket at the front of the class. Once all the children
have found an egg and are seated, the teacher takes an egg out of the basket and holds
it up while the group sings Easter egg, Easter egg, can you fnd my Easter egg?
Te child who has the matching Easter egg holds up his or her egg and sings the
answer I have found your Easter egg.
Te child then brings the matching egg up and places it beside the other. (A small
piece of magnetic strip can be placed on the back of each egg to enable them to be
used on a magnet-board.)
Variations:
Instead of hiding the eggs, place them in a basket and have one child pretend to
be the Easter bunny delivering the eggs.
For older children, play a passing game with the eggs: children pass the eggs
around the circle to the beat, placing the eggs on the foor in front of the child
on their right. (Tis requires the skill of passing to the beat for this game to be
successful. It takes a bit of practice.) At the end of the song the teacher holds up
an egg and the child holding the matching egg sings the answer.
Place a drum or an instrument in the middle of the circle. Te child who fnds
the matching egg gets to keep the beat on the instrument while the song is sung
the next time.
Play an accompaniment: use the notes C and G on an xylophone and play on
the beat throughout the song. (Tis is called a bordun.) Te child with the
matching egg could be the child who plays the bordun next.
Tip: For each pair of eggs, draw a small dot on the back of one egg. Ten you
can easily hide just the eggs with the dots on them rather than having to match
them all up and divide them.

About this Song:
This is a very simple song with
the aim being to provide an op-
portunity for young children to
practice their pitch-matching
skills. Young children need
many such opportunities to
hear their own voice in relation
to others and to hear their voice
matching pitch. If children only
ever sing with the group, they
can miss this vital feedback
about their own voice. Singing a
small phrase on their own helps
children to learn to sing in tune
and develop their vocal skills.
