Campfire Songs: Review
Play along with instruments, body percussion or desk drumming
- divide the class into 2 groups and play the game
- divide the class into 2 teams to play
This week we’ll sing some songs that you could sing around the campfire or on a car trip.
This is an American folk song.
Sometimes when you go camping, you go fishing too!
This song is a German children's song
In German, the words are
Mein Hut, der hat drei Ecken,
Drei Ecken hat mein Hut,
Und hätt er nicht drei Ecken,
So wär es nicht mein Hut.
Sing along.
Watch the video and do the actions with the students.
For a challenge, you can repeat the song with the same actions and don't say specific word. For example...
-1st time you repeat the verse but don't say "my" - just point to yourself.
-2nd time you repeat the verse but don't say, Hat" , just show the "hat"
-3rd time you repeat the verse but don't say "three" - just put up three fingers.
-4th time you repeat the verse and leave out "corners", just point to your elbows.
- listen to the song
- play the video again and sing along
- this is a song that Mrs. Gagne learned at camp
In the camp version, the kids sit in a circle and make up clap patterns with everyone in the circle
If you aren't allowed to touch, create a solo desk drum pattern to the song.
The first pattern in the demo doesn't have any touching - that's the kind of pattern you can make up.
Teach your pattern to the class. Try out as many patterns as you have time for.
Review the "Camping Song" .
Play the video and sing along!
Create a verse for the camping song.
Use the worksheet or save ink and printer paper and use your own paper!
Listen to the first part of the song.
Play the video again, and sing along.
