This week we will share with you some ways to integrate these activities with a variety of songs and how they can be used in different grade levels. * ## **Valentine’s Song Database**  Here you will find all the songs related to love, friendship, and Valentine’s Day available in Musicplay.   [![](https://blog.musicplay.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/2_w500_h353_s1_m2.png?width=500&height=353&name=2_w500_h353_s1_m2.png)](http://www.musicplayonline.com/) ## **Valentine’s Word Composition** *This is an activity that can be used in many different ways and for a variety of grade levels. Only use the rhythms that are appropriate for your students.  It never hurts for your students to see some more challenging rhythms.   * [![](https://blog.musicplay.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/0_w500_h378_s1_m2.png?width=500&height=378&name=0_w500_h378_s1_m2.png)](http://www.musicplayonline.com/) ### *    **Some different ways to use this activity include:*** 1. **WARM-UP** – Practice known rhythm patterns. Students can then transfer the patterns to body percussion or non-pitched percussion instruments. 2. **CREATE A “B” SECTION** – Use this activity to create a B section or Rondo with other songs from Musicplay – Some songs that would work well for this include “I Like You” (Song #68 from Musicplay Grade 1) and “Love Somebody” (Song #60 from Musicplay 3). 3. **CREATE AN OSTINATO** – Create a 4 or 8 beat ostinato to play with the songs “I Like You” (Song #68 from Musicplay Grade 1) or “Love Somebody” (Song #60 from Musicplay 3).  Transfer the ostinato to body percussion or non-pitched percussion instruments and try it while you sing the song at the same time. 4. **ASSESSMENT TOOL** – Use the worksheets below (available on MUSICPLAY ONLINE) to assess reading, writing, and creating rhythm patterns.
