Fired Up!

Get your students fired up for Veterans Day with a steady-beat body percussion activity they'll never forget. Fired Up! is built on military marching cadences — your students echo rhythms back while the upbeat accompaniment track keeps everyone locked in. It works as a classroom activity or a full Veterans Day performance piece, and it's developmentally appropriate for all elementary ages. The color-coded beat chart makes it foolproof: your text is in red, student text is in blue, and eighth-beat cue charts at the bottom of each slide keep you on track. An embedded video example shows exactly how each part is performed, with example echoes and student movements.

What's included:
- 59-page PowerPoint with embedded video examples and accompaniment track
- Color-coded beat chart with teacher and student text (printable PDF)
- Stand-alone MP3 of the accompaniment track
