Sharing our Everyday Activity Songs

To fellow Early Years Practitioners

Continuing my work with young mums and their children across Cornwall, I wanted to share with you a couple of songs that we have created which have been well received not only by the children, but also by the mums and the crèche workers in the WILD Young Parents’ Project music groups.

 

These songs are sung to well known tunes helping to encourage singing at home, and to encourage the WILD mums to create their own songs. We wanted to share with you a couple of our favourites:

 

Song - The Grand Old Duke of York

Oh, we pick up all the toys

We put them safe away

We pick them up, and tidy up

Until another day

 

We pick them one by one

We put them safe away

We pick them up and tidy up

Until next time we play

 

Song – The first 2 lines of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Time for sleeping

Rest our heads

Up the stairs and into bed

 

Time for sleeping

Snuggle in tight

Quietly sleep all through the night.

 

This programme of activity has been funded with thanks to a grant from the National Foundation for Youth Music.
