Tideo: Singing Game for Elementary Music

In this three-part series, Anne and Victoria explore ways to refresh Tideo, starting with the song and game. Tideo is a rich song, both from a pedagogical standpoint and a song research standpoint! There are so many ways to set this play party up for different grade levels. Anne shares a version of the play party for 2nd and 3rd grade. Victoria shares a slight variation on the 2nd and 3rd grade version, as well as an option for lower elementary.
