Lesson Plan:
Introduction:
Ask students if anyone can tell me what an echo is. If someone can tell me what an echo
is, say Correct! We are going to play a name game that will use an echo. If students cant
tell me what an eco is, say An echo is a reflection of sound, hearing what you said
repeated."

Tell the students that the lyrics for the song are sung to the tune of Fere
Jacques.

2. Explain how we will go around in a circle introducing ourselves, and our friends
will echo what we say.
3. Lead students in starting the song for the echo game and point to them when it
is their turn to say the follow up echo line.

She is Mrs. B. Continue throughout the song.

Accommodations:

not understand.
