Category type game: Set up like Family Fued. 2 teams. 1 Member of each team starts at the front room with bug catchers & critters as their buzzers (because it's summer and it's fun!). Using the 7 learned Program Songs, I will say or sing a portion of a random phrase for them to finish. First one to catch their critter gets the chance to answer. If answered correctly, they add their critter to their team jar and that team gets to choose a Category first. If wrong, the other team gets a chance to answer correctly. If both teams answer incorrectly, I will do a different phrase and start the process again. 1 category per song. 4 questions & 1 *tie breaker question per category. A critter is earned for each correct answer. Winning Team of chosen category gets to choose which activity to do for that category song. Chosen category must be completed (a winner) before singing the corresponding song with chosen activity. Then start entire process over again with different team members at the buzzer to determine the next category.
