I put 4 students at a time on the xylophones playing the steady beat while the rest of the class played the game. Once a student had been the tree, they rotated over to the instruments and the last instrument player came back to join the game. This way every student got a chance to play 4 times. The second day we did this, I assessed steady beat on the instruments as they played.

Apple Tree
The 1st graders are studying apples in their classrooms, so we thought we'd do a few apple songs in music class. Here are the 1st graders singing "Apple Tree".
