Bee, Bee

I use this chant as a counting-out game with young children until they have learned it well.  Then, I use bee icons to teach the concept of one and two sounds to a beat (Ta ti ti).

I had so much fun making ghost icons for this song, and look forward to using them to teach quarter note and paired eighth note (Ta and ti ti) rhythms with my young students each October.

Engine, Engine

There are many versions of this song.  I like to use the first one to prepare and present one and two sounds to a beat (Ta and ti ti) with train icons.  The second one is a counting-out game I played with my friends as a child.
