The Grand Old Duke of York (tempo challenge- be ready to move!))

Oh, the grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men.
He marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched them down again.
And when they’re up, they’re up.
And when they’re down, they’re down.
And when they’re only halfway up,
They’re neither up nor down.

Sit in a circle with your students. The teacher begins the chant , leg pat and addresses a child:
Teacher: “Bippity Boppity Bumble Bee, Will You Say Your Name For Me?”
The child responds, “Jennifer.”
Teacher: “Let’s all say it.” And the class says her name out loud, while patting once for each syllable.
Teacher: “Let’s all whisper it.” And the class whispers her name, while quiet-patting the syllables again,
once per syllable.
Teacher and class: “Bippity Boppity Bumble Bee, Thank You For Saying Your Name For Me!”
