Classroom Easy Activity Kit

Getting involved in Music: Count Us In is simple, even if you have limited musical skills. A classroom activity kit has been designed for primary generalist teachers. It has been written by music educator, Pru Borgert and music therapist/educator, Catherine Threlfall. It contains lots of ideas for teaching the song to students in both mainstream and special education settings and lots of ways of using the song as a springboard to activities in many other curriculum areas.
