Hi Caroline! Caroling is so much fun! Given the range of ages it sounds like it would be most appropriate to have the kids go caroling in two groups. That way each group can learn songs appropriate for their age. Also I definitely do think instruments would be perfect for those children who are non verbal. Have fun and hope that helps!

I was looking at your kiddos doing caroling, and was wondering if they were all verbal. The two classrooms I’ve been asked to coordinate this with are preschool and 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, so there’s obviously a big age gap. Also, there are at least 3 of the preschoolers who are non-verbal. When doing performances in a building, I know it’s appropriate to use instruments for those kiddos who may not be able to sing, but in the community, I’m not sure whether this would be feasible, or even a good idea. Also, because of their big age gap, I’m not sure of a way to make the experience appropriate and engaging for both groups. Any thoughts on this?
