Microceratus - Song

The Microceratus Song

This song used ascending, then descending pitch. This dinosaur is sometimes called the microceratops. It helps if the teacher uses hand movements to show where the pitch goes up and where it goes down, with the children copying. You could play it on chime bars or a xylophone to accompany the singing, starting on C. Aim to use the correct terms for these instruments:

• A xylophone has bars made of wood
• Chime bars, metallophones and glockenspiels have metal bars

• A microceratus climbed a tree
• He wanted to be as high as can be
• __
• The microceratus slid back down
• He wanted to be back on the ground
