The Scarf and Weather Song and Dance

This sweet little circle game song loosely based on the well known 'Farmer's in His Den' was written for a nursery class in St Joseph's School in Hertford. Each child was given a different coloured scarf and during the vesrse if their colour was associated with the weather type being sung about then they stood up and waved their scarves. In the instrumental interlude the same children skipped round the outside of the circle. Obviously we discussed the colour/weather assocaiation before the game started and the children soon got the hang of the game. In the last verse 'Can you dance like a rainbow?' all the children skipped round in a circle and sat down when the music stopped. They learnt so many skills during this game and had loads of fun. Hope you do too.
