Lots of People Help Us (pitch, pulse)

This is an easy starter song that helps the children to think of all the people who help us. You can walk in time to it and also tap the pulse on knees. In the video, the children are encouraged to think of other actions they can do in time with the pulse of the music.

When they know the song, ask the children to think of other people who help us to sing about. These people fit into the song well:

Firefighters, road sweepers, doctors, teachers, caretakers, nurses, dentists, lifeguards, bus drivers, post workers, musicians, hairdressers, opticians, pilots, painters, plumbers.

The rhythm of the word police officer doesn't fit very well because the strong part of the word, pol-ICE is the second syllable.

• Lots of people help us, help us, help us
• Lots of people help us every day
• __
• Firefighters help us, help us, help us
• Firefighters help us every day
• ... and so on
