Music Lesson Plan

Title: The Cows are Lost Grade Level: K/1


Source: Sing to Kids https://singtokids.com/songs-to-teach-tempo-in-the-music-room/

Materials needed: None

Procedure:

1. Sing the song “The Cows are Lost” to students, following the sheet music below.
2. Ask students, “Which part of that song was fast, and which part of the song was
slow?”
3. Once students are able to identify which section has a slow tempo, and which section
has a fast tempo, you will assign actions to each section.
4. For the slow section, ask students to stomp the steady beat as you sing. Demonstrate
this.
5. For the fast section, ask students to clap the beat as you sing. Demonstrate this.
6. Have students practice stomping and clapping to the music with you.
7. Sing the song again, this time stomping during the slow section and clapping during
the fast section. At this point, students should be participating with you. Repeat the
song one more time for extra practice
Educational Objective: By the end of this lesson, students will have learned what tempo
is in music. They will have heard examples of a fast tempo and a slow tempo, and
demonstrated their understanding through clapping and stomping the beats.

Closure: Review what “tempo” is in music. Remind students that the tempo of a song can
be fast or slow.
