The children in nursery and reception at St Joseph's school loved marching and playing in time to this little song designed to practise rhythmic skills by accompanying with claves. General listening skills improve as the children have to listen to the instructions contained within the song too. The song can be a warm up, or an introduction to 4/4 music and a prelude to the children creating their own pieces in 4/4 time. However you use this song I hope you find it useful and above all enjoyable.
