There are some excellent examples of how singing can be embedded throughout the school day, providing a vocal soundtrack to the different elements of the day. You might source songs which support learning a particular part of the curriculum, or have songs to start the day and end the day (hello and goodbye songs). Have a look at the Sing Up Song Bank to explore potential songs to support the curriculum.

To hone this further in terms of supporting the well-being of children and young people, you can aim to involve them in making decisions about which song to sing when, and even create some lyrics/melodies collaboratively. 

For children and young people who may not engage so readily in this type of activity, you can engage them in other ways so that they feel included – this could be helping to hand out song sheets, choreographing movement to accompany the singing, turning pages if there is someone playing the piano/keyboard, providing some percussive accompaniment or any other ways that you can encourage them to feel part of the activity even if they are not inclined to join in with singing. You may have a conversation with them outside of the class setting to find out how they might like to participate.
