What’s In The Bag?
Margaret and Kate sing about choosing an object from the song bag. You can make your own song bag at home using any bag and filling it with symbols that represent a particular song. A cut out cardboard star could be ‘Twinkle Twinkle little star’, a toy bus ‘The wheels on the bus’…use your imagination and add as many as you like!
The Grand ‘Ol Duke Of York
This one is great if you need to add a bit of movement to your music session.
1,2,3,4,5 Once I Caught A Fish Alive
This is great for practicing counting. Again, you can make a little fish symbol to put in your song bag for children to pick out.
The Wheels On The Bus
This is a great one for firing up the imagination. Add any variations that you can think of!
Where Oh Where Are All The Children?
This song is a fun way of exploring and developing self-awareness and awareness of other people.
We Are Drumming!
In this video Kate and Margaret sing a song about drumming. It provides a simple, familiar (do you recognise it?) beat that is easy for you to join in with. There’s also a fun section in the middle involving some anticipation. Enjoy!
Skye Boat Song Variation
This is a relaxing activity than can done in pairs or in a bigger group. Margaret and I are using stretchy fabric and chiffon dance scarves but you can use a large towel and a teddy bear, whatever you have to hand. Feel free to use any harmonies you like when you sing this.
Row Row Row Your Boat
An old classic nursery rhyme that helps to engage the imagination. Feel free to add in any variations that you like! If you’re not playing instruments then hold hands and rock forwards and backwards in your boat.
Roly Poly
Use any scarf of piece of cloth for this physical action rhyme. Really enjoy stretching out your body.
Wind The Bobbin Up
If you don’t know this song then it’s about time you learned it! Another old classic that remains a favourite with little children.
