Grazing cows - Song

Grazing Cows Song

This is a traditional Chinese song. You'll need to learn it really thoroughly before teaching it and then adopt a first me, then you method. When the children know the song, you could make a sound recording and ask the them if there is any way they could improve their singing:

• Did everyone join in?
• Does the singing sound beautiful?
• Is it in tune - are there any notes that don't sound right?
• Did it keep going well?

Make a second recording and compare. Which one did the children like better, and why. Another way of reflecting on a performance is for half the class to sing at a time and the other half to do Two Stars and a Wish - say two things they liked about the singing and give one positive suggestion for improving.

• Early in the morning
• See the sun a dot of red
• Brother riding on a horse
• Sister on a dragon

• Climbing up the mountain
• See the clouds are flying
• Brother play the flute all day
• Sister watch the clouds
