Kye Kye Kule

I was inspired by Kedmon Mapana to use this song as an improvised call-and-response movement game.  The leader calls various parts of the song, and the group must respond by echoing whatever type of voice and movements he or she uses.

How Many Miles to Babylon?

This call-and-response song has two lines of players singing back and forth to each other, and is good for practicing ti ticka.
