Meunier tu dors - French Nursery rhyme - World Nursery Rhyme Week 2024 - Piccolo Music - pre school

Details

Description

Welcome to Piccolo Music! Today, we're excited to share our latest lyric video of a French song about a miller. A miller falls asleep while the windmill gently turns. But while sleeping, the wind picks up, and the mill's sails start spinning faster and faster! Children love this song and even if French is not their first language they very quickly pick up the meaning. Lying fast asleep as the music is slow, jumping up to the shout and spinning arms and bodies round and round as the music speeds up. And the song repeats itself so children can do the actions all over again.
Actions:
Sleep: When you sing about the miller sleeping, encourage the children to pretend to sleep quietly,
Spin: When you shout "lèves-toi" (wake up!), everyone jumps up and spins around energetically, just like the windmill's sails.

Learning Goals:
Dynamics: Practice singing softly while pretending to sleep and singing loudly when waking up and spinning. Help the children understand how volume can express the story's mood.
Tempo: Feel the difference between moving slowly when sleeping and spinning quickly like the windmill when awake. Encourage the children to feel how tempo affects the energy of the song and their actions.

Objective: By the end of this activity, the children will have explored the roles of the miller and the windmill through music and movement. They will have practiced dynamics and tempo, enhancing their musical expression and understanding.
