As the kangaroo features in Saint Saens 'Carnival of the Animals' I thought it would be nice to write a fun song about kangaroos. Children will love playing musical bumps pretending to be kangaroos to the dotted rhythms of this song. Children learn a few kangaroo facts from the lyrics too making it a great introduction to finding out more information. Children could create their own jumpy kangaroo music as you show a picture of kangaroos jumping then learn to control their sounds by stopping as you show a picture of a kangaroo standing up straight balancing on its tail. The song could be used in a wider topic on animals, habitats and Australia. Hope this helps you add a new dimension to your topic but above all have fun with it.
