Music, speech and movement are
already found in Ancient Greek Drama, while the existence of traditional
singing games, over time and worldwide, proves that music kinetics has never
ceased to be a means of education. At the beginning of the 20th century, the
first attempts were made to integrate the above arts for educational purposes,
and so the curriculum of physical education included music-kinetic education,
which, through its chosen themes, contributes to the realization of the purpose
and goals of physical education, as it enables children to build on their
existing experiences to develop motor, cognitive, and emotional fulfillment.
As part of the music-kinetic
education module in the first trimester, the children were selected to work on
the song "Feast of the Stars". The goals achieved are as follows:
●
Interdisciplinary
approach to space, constellations, planets
●
Development
of movement and motor expression skills
●
Development
of acoustic and space perception
●
Development
of kinetic creativity and collaboration

…The song “Feast of the Stars” talks
about a great feast in the sky, a party in which all the stars and
constellations take part, creating a magical atmosphere… !
We’ll turn off the lights of the city and the houses
Tonight we’ll have Feast of the Stars!
Poulia will take over the bar and drinks
and the Great Bear will bring the ice- creams!
The Pleiades will bring the lights
and the Polar Star will start the dance
Saturn will play the trumpet, Scorpio will play the drums
Orion will play the piano, and Janus the guitar!
