Classical Conversations Cycle 2 Tutor Plans

Here are my Classical Conversations Cycle 2 tutor plans for the 2025-2026 school year. This year my class is mostly Apprentice students (ages 6-7).

Note: this is a WORKING document…aka I’m filling it in as I progress through the year. While I have some plans already planned out at the beginning of the year, I don’t have the whole year planned. So SAVE this post and come back to it periodically to see what I’ve added.

If you want to see what I did week by week in video form, I’ll have short recap videos on YouTube for each week – you can see those HERE.

This post contains some affiliate links. If you purchase a product through an affiliate link I make a small commission at no cost to you. Thank you!

The way my brain works is to plan by subject, not by week. It makes more sense to me to pick a variety of ways to introduce math and fill those in for several weeks, then look at Latin and think about how I might want to approach that one, and so on. So rather than sharing “week 1” and all the things I’m doing for week 1, then doing the same with week 2, and so on, I’m going to share by subject. I hope that works for your brain too!

If you want to see how I prepped for this year of tutoring (making my tutor board, classroom organization, my binder, etc.) check out this post and this video:

Resources

As I’ve been planning there have been several fantastic resources that I’ve referenced and used as inspiration.

General places to get ideas

CC Connected (aka CCC). Once you’re contracted to be a tutor you’ll have access in CCC to a tutor forum where people share tutor files. That being said, there isn’t a whole lot of stuff there. Some, but not tons. There are quite a few resources in the regular CC parent shared forum though. Everything I’ve found on CCC I’m linking here.
CC official Cycle 2 Tutor Facebook group for 2025-2026. This group has been a wealth of ideas. The tutors in there share files and ideas, this is my go-to resource.
Abecedarian Tutors Facebook group – Another group with lots of ideas specific to the youngest learners.
Main CC FB group – There’s also lots of stuff for tutors in the main CC group so use the search functions there as well.

Lesson plans

There are several people on CC Connected or in the Facebook groups who generously share files with their whole entire set of filled in lesson plans for Cycle 2. There are also a couple of bloggers/YouTubers who share their plans from each week. These are great resources to reference as you’re planning.

Filled in lesson plans
Another set of filled in lesson plans (includes activity ideas for a variety of ages too)
This blog shares her weekly tutor plans (here’s cycle 2 week 1 scroll to the end of the post to see links for the other weeks)
Love, Mrs C. on YouTube shares video recaps of what she does each week in her class.
Devoted to Littles has a blog and YouTube channel where she will be sharing what she’s doing each week.
…(and of course I have my plans here and on YouTube)

Other resources

This document has a TON of great ideas of how to present new grammar and this document has a bunch of review games ideas (click “make a copy” to see them) (shared in the tutors’ group)

Rolling review pages – Last year I used CC’s memory work flashcards for review time – each week I would gather that week’s plus the previous 6 weeks and put them in a box, then would draw from that box to ask questions during review. This year I did not buy the flashcards and instead will be using these pages (here is another option as well). There is a separate page for each week that has that week’s plus the previous 6 weeks to help you remember exactly which things to review.

My planner

Our director printed this planner for us; here is another option on CCC; here is an option on Etsy; and here is an option on Canva.

I’m using the one our director printed to jot down an overview of what I’m doing and an editable one to type out more specific info (lyrics, hand motions, etc.)

(You can see what else is in my binder in my tutor prep post HERE)

New Grammar

Here is what I have planned for introducing new grammar each week. I’ll keep updating this post as I plan more through the year.

My example projects for the first 6 weeks:

Tin Whistle (weeks 7-12)

Here are a couple of resources that I’ve found very helpful in planning for the music theory/tin whistle unit:

This is my favorite set of tin whistle lesson plans, but this one, this one, and this one are good too so check them 0ut and see what you like best
These YouTube videos give ideas for each week and have been very helpful!
This workbook and this workbook have some great worksheets/visuals/printables
If you have an older class, this tin whistle karate looks so super fun!

These are my plans that are in addition to what’s in the CC Foundations Guide so please refer to the guide for the bulk of your lesson planning. I’ll use it and the lesson plans I linked above for my lesson, these are just a few additional activities I’ll be doing for each week

Week 7: Parts of the Tin Whistle

Visual aids: printed/laminated the tin whistle picture with the tin whistle song and picture of cacophony vs. unison (both from here) to put on my white board
Song to teach the parts of the tin whistle and that matches the song on my printed poster can be found here (3 minutes in to the video)
Activities: Simon Says with identifying the parts of the tin whistle (Simon Says show me the fipple, Simon Says touch the barrel, etc.) and Thumbs up, Thumbs down with positioning (I’ll hold my tin whistle either right or wrong and they’ll give me thumbs up or thumbs down)
Put painters tape on their left hands to help them remember which hand goes on top

Week 8: Dynamics

Visual Aid/Activity: Note cards (printed from here) with the various dynamics on them – used to introduce the concept and a game/activity for the kids to put in order on the white board
Activity: make a list of examples (bomb exploding, feather falling from a bird. mom calling a child in from outside for dinner, etc.) and have kids identify what dynamic that would be

Week 9: Note Values and Staff

Visual Aid: laminated picture of the types of notes (printed from here) and laminated/cut out large individual notes
Activity: practice drawing a staff and notes using this method
Activity: Make note flashcards/game cards (from here) for the kids to hold up as I ask “Show me a whole note, Show me a note that gets 1 beat”, etc.

Week 12: Review

Music Theory BINGO (our community brings all the classes together and does a tin whistle concert during our review on week 12 so I won’t have much, if any, time to review with my class…but if I did I would 100% use this Music Theory BINGO because it looks like such a fun way to review! I may still use it anyway and squeeze it in for 5-10 minutes in the day.)

Great Artists (weeks 13-18)

(At our Q3 tutor meeting we will decide as a group what projects we will do so I don’t have those updated right now but I do have some other resources I will likely use)

Orchestra (weeks 19-24)

Here are some of the resources I used in planning for the orchestra unit.

Here are several options for listening to the music (mp3s, streaming, YouTube videos, etc.) – I went with the mp3s (from here) so I could put them on a Yoto playlist (tutorial about CC + Yoto here)
These YouTube videos are SO helpful for planning each lesson!

Hands on Science

Notes/scripts

There are several Cycle 2 Hands on Science scripts available on CCC. I pull from both option #1 (Nicole Liem’s) and option #2 (Hands on Science tutor book) as I’m prepping each week

Here are scripts that are the most popular options I see mentioned (also available in The Sandbox)
Another set of scripts that are my personal favorites: weeks 1-12 here, weeks 13-24 here
This one is just a Bible discussion guide to be used alongside the experiment(s)
Here is a match up of the Indescribable book that can be read alongside science and here is a match up that includes both Indescribable and How Great is Our God

Science journal

I print a very simple science “journal” (basically just a blank piece of paper with the title at the top) so my students can draw a picture of what they observed. Here are two options: option 1 / option 2

YouTube videos

There are a couple of places to watch videos about the experiments before you attempt to do them yourself in community. I always watch one (or more) of these each week as I prep.

Classical Conversations of Mt. Pleasant on YouTube
Elizabeth Wilcox on YouTube
The Learning Center on CCC has a video for each week too, you can find it under each week’s tab

Review Games

Last year I had 12 review games for the first semester so I had something different each week, then I repeated most of them in the spring semester. This year I had 9 carry overs from last year that we liked the most so I am reusing them for the first semester, and the 3 top favorites I’ll repeat twice in the first semester to get us to a total of 12 weeks. If I see something else I really love in the tutor Facebook group or something I may replace those 3 repeat weeks with new games but for now this is my plan.

Week 1: Would you rather? (review will feel very long this week since there’s only one week to review, so we’ll ask/answer a would you rather question, then a review question, and back and forth to fill time and use as a “get to know you” game)
Week 2: Hot stew (posted in the Tutor FB group so this link will only work if you’re in that group)
Week 3: Rocket Blast Off!
Week 4: Stinky Feet
Week 5: Bingo
Week 6: Pom Pom Bomb
Week 7: Ouch! (posted in the Tutor FB group so this link will only work if you’re in that group)
Week 8: Bug swat game
Week 9: Rocket Blast Off!
Week 10: Hot Stew (posted in the Tutor FB group so this link will only work if you’re in that group)
Week 11: Roll a Pumpkin
Week 12: Bingo

Over Christmas break I reviewed the games that we played during the 1st 12 weeks, decided which ones I wanted to repeat or if there were any flops, and if so what I want to do in their places. Here’s my plan for the 2nd half of the year.

Week 13: Would you rather? (great list of questions here)
Week 14: Pop Darts
Week 15: Rocket Blast Off!
Week 16: Stinky Feet
Week 17: Bingo with conversations hearts as markers for Valentine’s
Week 18: Ouch! (posted in the Tutor FB group so this link will only work if you’re in that group)
Week 19: Bug swat game
Week 20: Pom Pom Bomb
Week 21: Pop Darts
Week 22: Rocket Blast Off!
Week 23: Hot stew (posted in the Tutor FB group so this link will only work if you’re in that group)
Week 24: Target practice (draw a target on the board with subjects in each ring, throw a sticky ball at it to pick the subject)

I also made a list of a couple of no prep games that if something happens (I forget part of that week’s game at home, the game is a flop, we finish way too soon, etc.) I can pull out one of these on the fly. These are ones that either just require the white board and a marker or something that I already have with me (“I have say it like” and Animal antics in my binder, I keep the four corners cards in my bag, etc.)

Tic Tac Toe on the whiteboard
Alien face/silly face (they get to add to the face on the whiteboard after each review question – you can let them just add whatever or you can have them roll dice to determine what they add)
Mural (you start a picture on the whiteboard and they get to add something to it after each review question
A tisket, a tasket (basically the same as pass the present above, just not seasonal specific)
Say it like, while… (also a good one to use for new grammar) or Animal Antics
4 corners (if you have my tutor bundle from Etsy this download is in there, otherwise just write 1, 2, 3, 4 on notecards)

And some other low prep options I have ready at home if I decide last minute to punt on one of the other games I had planned:

Wiggle Worm (if you want to buy on here is this one on Etsy, but I just took popsicle sticks and wrote a subject on each one then made 2 with worms on them)
Beanbag toss (tape subjects on the ground, the closest one they toss their beanbag to is what they answer)
Dice (I have one dice with dry erase on each side from Dollar Tree and one dice with CC subjects; write actions or silly voices on the dry erase one, they roll both so one dice tells them the subject to review and the other tells how to say/do it)
Sticker the tutor (they get a sticker to put on me after they answer a question)

Other quiet activities (some tutors find that their students do better listening to the memory work while playing with a quiet activity during review time rather than doing games/activities. If that turns out to be the case for my class I’ll try some of these):

playdoh
brainflakes
coloring sheets (used code MYCHOCOLATEMOMENTS for 20% off anything in her shop)

I’ve also started using these maps from my trifold board pages that I use at home during review time to make it easy for us to review the geography from the past weeks.

Oh and don’t forget to print out a “first day of CC” paper – take a picture of each kid in your class holding it on the first day, then again with a “last day of CC”, one on the last day.
