Music class
Mar. 27th, 2009 08:32 pm Today, our music teacher was out, and no one could find the keys to her cabinets to get out the supplies for the substitute teacher.
My music class was first, so I got my boxed copy of ENCORE!, the duelling "can you sing six words of a song using this word/topic?" game.
I made my class play, thus teaching the substitute, and left her the game for the day. She was a relieved, happy camper. S
My students? They said that at last I had found a use - a lame use, but a use - for my tendency to burst into random song. (And I handicapped myself by not permitting myself to use any filk, so all the tunes I used would be recognizable by teens.) Ah, recognition for one's skills.
Aaaand, because I have a couple of rappers, at the start of the game I made sure to set up the Tom Smith addendum: The song sung must have been in existance before the start of the game. "Excellent lyrics, Johnny, but extant to not being in existence prior to thirty seconds ago, our team must try again!"
