Play Rimsky-Korsakov's “Flight of the Bumblebee” for the children. Talk about how the music might make them think of a bumblebee flying or how the music makes them feel. Next play the piece again and encourage the children to buzz around with elbows flapping searching for flowers and nectar. When they've gathered all their nectar, have them fly back to the hive to feed the queen bee. This could be done in large group.
