<h3>Who's in Your Family?</h3><p>The point of the song is that we have all sorts of different families and that pets may be included too. I like children to use their solo sing-song voice without feeling unselfconscious so I never correct the pitch of the singing in this context. This was the first attempt, as you might have guessed! </p>                                                                                                                                                                                

<h3>My Granny Gave Me (rhythm, pulse, literacy link)</h3><p>This is an alphabet game that can be played on successive days, choosing new letters each day. This game works well as an activity for a groups of three to five children but you could also do it in a big circle with the whole class if the children take turns. The children in the group take turns to say, 'My granny gave me a ....' so, before the game can start, ask for ideas about what granny 'gave me' and make sure every child has their phrase ready. Straight after the word such as Anteater, everyone in the group claps its rhythm then the next child continues with their words, without a pause. You may like to start with only three things that granny gave me, and then build up to four or five. The words needs to be rhythmical so tap the pulse on knees or use a drum to keep the pulse. After all the children in the group have said what granny gave them, they all say, 'And that's all!' </p>                                                                                                                                    <ul class="simple lyrics">            <li>Child 1 - My granny gave me an Anteater (clap clap clap)</li>            <li>Child 2 - My granny gave me a Bear  (clap)</li>            <li>Child 3 - My granny gave me a Cam-el  (clap clap)</li>            <li>Child 4 - My granny gave me a Duck  (clap)</li>            <li>Child 5 - My granny gave me an El-e-phant  (clap clap clap)</li>            <li>Child 1 - My Granny gave me an Anteater (clap clap clap),  Child 2 - bear (clap),  Child 3 - Cam-el  (clap clap),  Child 4 - Duck  (clap),  Child 5 - El-e-phant  (clap clap clap)</li>            <li>Everyone - And that&#039;s all!</li>    </ul>
