Seesaw singsong

Jolly Music is a progressive course that teaches children about music through singing alone. In this new series we will walk you through music and activities that are memorable, easy to sing, and have lots of scope for activities and games. The children’s skills will be built up gradually, using plenty of repetition from week to week.

This month we look at activities based on ‘See-saw’. This four-bar song may only contain two notes, but you can extract a wealth of musical experiences from it (see above right).
