ANOTHER SONG TO SING
This song can be sung to the tune of Polly Put the Kettle On.
You can replace the names with those of your classmates.
If you do not know the tune you will be able to clap out the rhythm by counting the syllables in the song.
A. Work in your groups and count the syllables in each line. If a word is made up of more than one syllable, break it up like this: e.g. fur/ ni/ ture.
Pieter switch the TV on (3x)
We want to watch the news
Gaby set the table, please (3x)
We want to have our lunch
…...........…......……wash the dishes now (3x)
And Pam will help to dry
…...........…......……make your bed quickly (3x)
And keep your room tidy
…...........…......……draw the curtains please (3x)
It’s getting very dark
…...........…......……brush your teeth again (3x)
Before you go to bed.
B. As a group, you are going to make up three verses. Check that each line has the correct number of syllables. Once your song is complete your educator will allow you an opportunity to present it to the class. You may sing it or present it as a rap.
