Tommy Tinker

I remember singing this song when I went to outdoor camp and acting out the part where Tommy sits on a red-hot clinker (a hot coal)!  It makes for a rousing round when four groups are standing with alarm and crying, "Ma! Ma!"

This rousing Texas play-party song can be played as a hand-clapping game with double circle of partners or a partner-swinging dance and is great for teaching sixteenth notes.

Ding Dong Diggidiggi Dong

While students are learning this song, I ask for individuals to think of different animals who could go missing.  When it is well-learned, I use it for preparing and presenting four sounds to a beat.

The Car Song

Kids like to see how fast they can sing this action song.  It's also good for practicing ti ticka in the first eight measures.
