TME Tuesday - Musical Mad-Libs

I enjoy enfolding music into educational experiences and would spend much of my time developing TMEs for teachers attempting to teach kids who are musical learners in educational settings (special and typical). One of the fun ways that I use is not my own idea, but is adapted from a children's game, Mad-Libs. This is a great way to review parts of speech as well as to just be silly.

Basically, what you do is take any familiar song, take out key words, and then ask students to replace the words using the parts of speech categories. Sing the new words and listen to the absurdity.

Here is an example: Sing to the tune of Home on the Range
