Hi, I’m new to blogging but I think this may be a good way of dropping ideas for singing warm ups, chants, creating, listening and things that I have found work for me using technology.

I love Singing Games and Rhymes for Early Years and Middle Years  https://www.nycos.co.uk/product-category/singing-games-rhymes/  If you don’t already use these books, please check them out. There are video demos on You Tube also.

I am always looking for ideas for fun chants and singing warm ups to add in to the mix.

If you are looking for a short warm up chant on keeping a beat: try this: ask your students to clap on the beat in the first line and stamp their feet (keeping a beat) on the second line and tapping on their heart on the words: ‘can you feel your heart beat‘

‘Clap your hands, keep in time, can you say this simple rhyme,

Keep the beat, with your feet, can you feel your heart beat!’
