I'm a music teacher. A warmup which I use is pretty simple: I teach them the solfege syllables (you know, do re mi fa sol la ti do - I haven't done the "ra" and "fi" etc chromatic versions) and then one day write on the board:

Do Re Mi Fa Sol -- and have them sing that. Then I erase "do" and add "la"

Re Mi Fa Sol La -- erase and add, etc

Mi Fa Sol La Ti

Fa Sol La Ti Do

I also do it backwards. My hope is to add "ear training" without their realization of the difficult topic the kids are learning. Make it a game and kids "learn by accident." I hope.
