Singing Games Year 4 Notations - I let her go go

"I Let Her Go-Go" is a lively singing game designed for Year 4 children, which combines singing with movement and coordination. The notation for the song sets the rhythm and melody for the words "I let her go-go, ee-ay I let her go-go," followed by the repeated phrase "go-go-go." The game involves the children forming a circle and pairing up, ensuring an even number of participants for the activity to work smoothly. Prior to starting the game, it's important to introduce the concept of changing partners to the children, which can be done by having them practice shaking hands with their current partner and then moving past them, shoulder to shoulder, to greet a new partner with a handshake.

Once the children are comfortable with the partner-changing mechanism, the game can begin in earnest with the singing of "I Let Her Go-Go." The first "go go" is accompanied by the children clapping their partner's hands twice. At the second "go go," they clap their own hands. The following "go" sees the partners holding hands and swapping places. After this, they clap their partner's hands twice more on the next two "go's." The game culminates with the children jumping 180 degrees on the final "go" to face a new partner, ready to continue the game as the song repeats. This playful activity not only enhances musical skills but also promotes physical coordination and social interaction among the children.
