Title: Wise Old Owl
About: This is an echo song. One person sings first, the other person/group echoes them singing the same thing.
Words: One of these days (echo)
Look up and see (echo)
A wise old owl (echo)
Sitting in a tree (echo)
He’ll look at you (echo)
And he’ll look at me (echo)
Those two big eyes (echo)
They don’t scare me (echo)
One of these nights (echo)
When raindrops fall (echo)
He’ll give a hoot (echo)
He’ll give a call (echo)
Title: Queen Clara and Sir Stoodly
About: Queen Clara's part is sung with a fast steady beat. Sir Stoodly's part is sung with a slow steady beat.
Words: Queen Clara moves so quickly
She walks so very fast.
Not one to dilly dally
She goes everywhere in a blast!
Her trusted friend Sir Stoodly
He’s quite a different kind
He’s so slow its hard to know
If he has a path in mind!
Title: Melody for Hare
About: A fast-paced song about the hare (from the story Tortoise and The Hare)
Words: I'm the fastest bunny rabbit
I'm the fastest bunny rabbit
I'm the fastest bunny rabbit
Catch me if you can!
Title: Melody for Tortoise
About: A slow song about the tortoise (from the story Tortoise and The Hare) Sung to the melody of Frère Jacques

Music for Beat Keeping:
Title: Hickory Dickory Dock
About: Students used a tick-tock block to help us all keep the beat together. Take some time to research more words to this song!
Words: Hickory Dickory Dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one, the mouse ran down
Hickory Dickory Dock
Title: I Think I Hear the Ending Coming
About: Students keep the beat while the words are repeated over and over. However the must stop the beat on the word STOP. The trick is, the speaker can use a fast steady beat, a slow steady beat, or maybe even somewhere in the middle. They can also decide to start in the middle/end of the sentence instead of starting from the beginning every time.
Words: "I think I hear the ending coming and now it's time to STOP!"
- Keeping a steady beat
- Proper singing technique
- Music Opposite: Fast vs. Slow
