I have a 4-5 grade choir that meets after school for 1 hr each week. We've already learned many songs for the semester and my singers voted on the two pieces they most wanted to do at our big district showcase in a few weeks. We also will be performing out in the community over the next few weekends at community carnivals, fairs, etc.

So here's the problem. Starting a brand new song right now seems to not make much sense, since we won't have enough time to learn one well-enough to perform at our community events and we've already had to select our pieces for the big district event. Any ideas for what we can do in the meantime since we don't really need to heavily practice our "old" pieces every single class meeting from now until the beginning of May?

Choir games? Other songs to sing just for fun? Should we try to record a piece to put online on our school website? HELP!!!!

Thanks for any suggestions, ~JJ~
maybe just a fun round? Wouldn't take long to learn, but can sound pretty nice when doing it in multiple parts?

Or..try to add some choreography to one of the pieces they already have?

bec How about challenging them with some canons, sight reading and playing some fun singing games.
