This Elementary Music Activity and Elementary Music Lesson Plan uses the Shel Silverstein poem, "Boa Constrictor," to encourage students to listen and improvise through movement what is happening in this hilarious poem.
 
Your students will beg for this activity over and over. Your room will be filled with giggles and peals of laughter each time you do this fun activity. Students pretend to be snakes as they "gobble up" their partner.
 
Elementary music Standards-based lesson plan, Music and English Language Arts (ELA).
