Does Your Doggy Like Eating Bones? (timbre)
Everyone sits in a circle. One child is in the middle, holding the Maestro the Music Dog. She keeps her eyes closed while the teacher gives the (plastic!) bone to another child. Start the game by singing Ready? just on one note.
- Everyone: Doggy Doggy where's your bone?
- Child in the middle: Someone stole it from my home
- Everyone: Who stole your bone?
- Child with the bone: I stole your bone
The Doggy child guesses, from the timbre of the thief's voice, who stole the bone (you will find that the children are good at guessing). Then the thief becomes the doggy in the middle, the bone is secretly given to a different child and the game starts again.
Down to the Baker's Shop (pulse)
An action song that children can sing, as they walk in time and hop. To help the children to walk in time, model it first so that they can copy your feet. You could also think of actions for the words, for my mother said, "Buy a loaf of bread'.
- Down to the baker's shop
- Hop hop hop
- For my mother said
- Buy a loaf of bread
- Down to the baker's shop
- Hop hop hop
