This original singing game is loads of fun for primary music students. Everyone will want a turn playing the role of Wanda Witch! Wanda steps around the room casting spells on every fourth beat using her magic wand (rhythm stick). The song repeats multiple times on the recording to facilitate game play. This is a fabulous way to reinforce beat groupings. Recording Length 2:56

Game Instructions:

1 - Choose one student to be Wanda Witch. Give that student a magic wand (rhythm stick).

2 - Instruct all other students to find their own standing spaces in the room.

3 - Lead the class in counting 1-2-3-4 as they listen to the recording.

4 - Wanda Witch will step to the beat and cast a spell on the nearest student on every beat 4. The student who has had the spell cast upon them will be turned to stone, will sit down and be "out" for the remainder of that round.

5 - This will continue until there is only one student remaining. That last person becomes the new Wanda Witch.

6 - Everyone stands and finds a new space, and the game begins again.

This recording is also available as part of the Wanda Witch Complete Song Package which includes an accompaniment track, a PDF with lead sheet and lessons ideas, a SMART Notebook file and a demonstration video.
