Songs used to start class should involve choreography instead of being sang without movement. This improves focus and you'll easily tell if a student isn't participating. It's ok to stop a song to address a particular student who isn't participating. The class will learn that they'll get bored and have to repeat if someone isn't participating. This puts pressure on that individual.
Want a song to be fun? Do it super fast, and then try slow too.
If a song doesn't have choreography, consider adding it.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star has the same melody as the ABC song. This may make it easier to learn and perform. This may be good for a school play or performance.
The game 'Duck, Duck, Goose, Goose' can be played with the words quiet and loud. You can do other word pairs as well, e.g. big/small, slow/fast. Have everybody chant the first word together, and then shout the last one together, but their voices don't have to be in unison.
