Activity One: Little Amadeus Sing-a-Long
The purpose of this activity is to give students an opportunity to learn to sing the Wunderkind Little Amadeus program theme song.




 1. Tell the class that they are going to learn to sing the Wunderkind Little Amadeus theme song. You will find the words and music here. Give the students a copy of the "Little Amadeus Theme Song" handout which contains the words to the song. Listen to the song and have your students follow along. Students learn in different ways: some may learn the song by listening and others by reading the words, so provide both options. You may also wish to review with the class any unfamiliar words in the song.

2. As a class, read aloud the brief Mozart biography. Ask the students how they think the theme song reflects Little Amadeus' life experiences.


3. As a class, read about the different operas that Mozart wrote. You can find them here.
