Those are wonderful, thanks!! I am adding them to my list.
Here are some of the ones I have come up with:
FANFARE! (trumpets so so so so so DO!!!)
DRUMROLL!!!! (students do on laps or instr. if they have them.)
REVEILLE! (kids play Reveille on “horns”) If it is a.m., they can end singing "good morning!" where "this morning" is at the end of the tune.
My music colleague, the only teacher I have managed to get to try WBT so far (and she loves it, too), Terri Hoffman, came up with these which I think are so creative!
Give a "seal" of approval to a student/class. Class claps their arms like a seal(the animal) and makes a seal sound. (Actually, you clap the backs of your
hands together keeping your arms straight & downward.)
Give a “round of applause” to a student/class. Everyone claps, moving their arms in a big circle in front of them.
