Sunshine Pie Songs
and singing games by Dany Rosevear© |
|
Introduction ‘Sunshine Pie’
is a treasury
of singing games. They
are a resource for all teachers of young children, including their parents
and carers. These songs can be taught with or without actions but are
enhanced by teaching the children movements either in small or large groups. Principles
followed in making this collection were: ·
resources are all in one place with a similar format for easy access ·
expertise as a musician or teacher is not needed to use these pages ·
children
learn language through participating in enjoyable activities ·
to contribute to an active and creative curriculum and lifestyle for
the 0-11 age group. The
songs in this collection are singing games, songs, mimes or dances. With my many
years experience as an enthusiastic classroom teacher (Foundation Stage and
Primary) I have: ·
written songs that I hope are fun to sing and perform ·
written original music or adapted music from traditional sources ·
written words that encourage language development and support other
learning ·
added a midi accompaniment to each piece of music and a
video showing how these songs might be sung. ·
provided original illustrations ·
grouped songs to link with topics ·
categorized suitability of games to specific age groups ·
suggested how to teach and accompany these singing games This compilation
has been produced to share my love of music for young children, for the pleasure I hope
they will give and to put a
smile on the face of every child who participates in singing these songs and
playing the games. |

Why singing
games?
There
are many good reasons for using singing games.
·
play is a natural way for the child to communicate
·
dance involves vigorous exercise and allows exploration of different
movements
·
motor and muscular skills are developed increasing co-ordination and self-control
·
singing games use children’s natural response to music in rhythm, melody
and form
·
a wide range of musical skills are learnt – singing, chanting, moving to
the beat, changing rhythms and speed
·
singing games help develop social interaction with a partner
or larger groups and encourage turn taking.
·
rhyme and rhythm are effective ways to absorb language
·
singing games use children’s natural response to music
·
learning linked to action encourages participation
·
listening skills are sharpened with simple and then more complex
instructions
·
a creative approach increases vocabulary as children are encouraged to
make up new refrains, words and verses
·
above all, it allows lots of tremendous fun while learning,
motivating even the most reluctant child.
Cross-curricula
dimensions
The
National Curriculum recognises the benefit of a cross-curricula approach.
Teaching singing games presents exciting opportunities to cover a range of
subjects and themes other than the more obvious ones of language, physical education,
PSHE & citizenship and music. Among these pages you may discover strands
that cover geography, history, maths, science, religious education, cooking,
healthy eating, teamwork, creative thinking and conservation.
Keep active
Children
need to be active more than ever. Lifestyles and life at school can be
sedentary but children learn best if periods of concentration are interspersed
with relaxation. Whenever children are restless take a break, if only for five
minutes, that’s plenty of time to enjoy a singing game. Show how to re-arrange
tables quickly and quietly to make space or, even better if the weather is
fine, slip outside to enjoy the fresh air. A dedicated slot of 20 - 30 minutes
each week is needed to learn these games.
An inspector
calls
When an OFSTED inspector visited my mixed
Foundation Stage and Year One class the first lesson she saw was of children
enjoying singing games. She was delighted by their chuckles, smiles and obvious
enjoyment with masses of energy being expended and lots being learnt. This
initial impression favourably coloured the judgements made by OFSTED of my
other lessons. No doubt the children were more alert and concentrated better in
these lessons because of regular opportunities for movement.
Accompanying
the songs
“For
the best movement response children should move to their own voices” is
excellent advice from Lois Choksy and David Brummit in their book 120
Singing Games and Dances for Elementary Schools. This approach leaves the
teacher free to help children master sequences.
However,
if you do not find it easy to hold a tune, accompany the song with a guitar as
this can easily be put down when the need arises. A guitar is also invaluable
to familiarise children with a song before attempting to introduce the movements.
The
chord sequences below will help you accompany the songs. Remember your young
audience will be tremendously impressed by even the most basic guitar playing!

ŚŤŽ or Ź denotes the fingers on the left hand that hold down the string behind
the fret shown. Ś: pointing finger, Ť: middle, Ž: ring finger, Ź: little finger.
For
more chords and to check the look and sound of your chords visit websites such
as http://www.emediamusic.com/freetools/chord.html or http://www.hotfrets.com/chords/arpeggiator_free.asp .
All
these songs can be played with a simple strong rhythmic strum using the right
hand but do explore some simple plucks. Google “guitar
lessons” to find a number of free sites to help you learn how to do this.
Songs
can be learnt using either the midi or You Tube video link that accompanies
each song. Many of the videos show a more basic chord structure than the music
suggests. My voice also naturally uses a lower key than I might use in a
classroom setting; so be prepared to adapt the music to allow for childrens’ higher pitched voices.
Dance
variations
The
chart below indicates suitability of games for a specific age group. Do
remember that older children will often enjoy the fun of a simpler game and
some younger groups will rise to the challenge of more complex routines,
especially in the summer term.
Vary
the type of dance you use, but ‘moving in place, then space’ often suit younger
children and line formations are generally more suitable for the older ones.
A few
of these songs are not written with movement in mind but it is always possible
to be creative!

Teaching
the songs
Gather
the children close to you. When singing a song for the first time use its
natural speed so children can appreciate the spirit of the song. Allow the
children to learn the words and music of these songs thoroughly before attempting
to teach the movements of each game, it is not easy for children to concentrate
on both initially, especially when singing in an unfamiliar language. Indeed,
you will often find that the less confident will be willing to follow the
movements but will take some time before joining in with the words. Often,
however, you will find these very same children are singing and impressing
their parents in their new language at home!
The younger
the children the more practice they will need. These children will also
appreciate singing familiar songs regularly rather than learning a new one too
often. Begin and end a session with old favourites.
As
children become familiar with a song allow them to change words, make up new
ones and suggest different actions or ways to improve performance.
