This song is an opportunity for students to practice using different tempos. This is a hand-clap chant. Show the students the actions and encourage them to play the game with a partner. When they have practiced, try it faster! When they get really good, try it at the presto tempo as shown below.
Ask the children to tell you their favorite songs, games or activities that they've done during the month.
