Review “I’ve a Car”

Song Used: I’ve a Car

This is a great action and reading song for kids. Have the students read the rhythms and note names for the song, learning the melody by reading it.

Sing the song five times. The first time, sing all the underlined words. The second time, leave out the words "bing bang" and just do the action. The third time, leave out "crash crash." The fourth time, leave out "rattle rattle." The fifth time, leave out "honk honk." If you teach solfa, read the note names in solfa. Teach the rhythm words for this song using the system you prefer.
