"My aunt came back" is a lively singing game designed for Year 6 students, which combines music with physical actions to create an engaging and fun learning experience. The game is structured around a call and response format, where the leader sings a line and the group echoes it back. The notation for the song is set in 4/4 time, with a series of quavers and crotchets that create a rhythmic and catchy melody. As the song progresses, the lyrics introduce various places such as Timbuktu and Old Japan, each associated with a specific item like a wooden shoe or a waving fan.

The game not only teaches musical timing and rhythm but also incorporates accumulative actions that correspond to the lyrics, adding a kinesthetic element to the learning. For example, when singing about Timbuktu, participants stamp one foot to mimic a wooden shoe, and when mentioning Old Japan, they wave one hand as if holding a fan. The actions grow increasingly complex as the song continues, including motions like a cutting motion for pinking shears from Old Algiers, a hula motion for a hula hoop from Guadalupe, rocking back and forth for a rocking chair from the New York Fair, and pointing at each other for a nut from the Calgary Zoo. This engaging activity not only helps with memorisation of the song but also encourages coordination and a sense of rhythm among the students.
