A jolly Pirate song in a Calypso Style with plenty of opportunity for movement, fun and games. During the chorus a real coconut could be passed round with the person left holding the coconut when the music stops having to do a forfeit. Or half a coconut could be banged on the floor as it's passed round to create a rhythmic accompaniment. The possibilities are endless.

A reworking of the well known 'Farmers in the Den' to include the alphabet sounds of the word 'Pirate' and lots of pirate artifacts. Teachers could have a treasure chest of relevant artifacts in front of them and children could guess something beginning with each letter of the word 'Pirate' in the chorus.

Children will love dancing the 'Hornpipe' during the chorus of this song and will learn a few interesting facts about Captain Blackbeard as they sing along in the verse. Add some actions to help the children remember the words and you will have a ready made assembly song. Have fun with Captain Blackbeard 'the terror of the deep blue sea!'

A fun counting song about Captain Blackbeard taking control of ' Three Gigantic Galleons' sailing on the sea including famous phrases used by pirates. Children could accompany the chorus with instruments and the songs could be a starting point for lots of other activities musical and non-musical. A great addition to topics on 'Pirates' or 'The Sea.'

A jaunty little song written for a playgroup and their topic on 'Pirates.' Children can skip and sing during the verse then act out the lyrics in the chorus.

This fun song was written for a foundation stage class. The lyrics of the well known 'What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor' were changed to include all the keywords and ideas associated with pirates. The children then performed the song in a circle with actions for the verses then joining hands and stepping in and out of the circle (hokey cokey style) during the chorus. A great song to enhance a topic on Pirates or The Sea.

An action packed fun song about following a map and searching for treasure which could be a prelude to a whole host of other activities. Children will love following the instructions in the verse and then doing actions or a dance to fit in with the chorus. Have fun with this song everyone! A real asset to a topic on 'Pirates.'

Nine short and easy to learn songs in a variety of styles to help E.Y.F.S children truly understand the characteristics of effective learning. The songs are written with fun in mind and offer plenty of opportunity for actions and dance.

A Boogie Woogie Fun Song that children love. The song tells the story of a visit to a Pet Shop where the children beg their Mum to buy a pet and are disappointed each time she says no however she succumbs in the last verse when she sees a cute little puppy and everyone goes home happy. The song was written for an end of topic assembly on Pets but it is a great addition to topic based music lessons on pets or animals. The song is a great starting point for rhythm work including dance and for creative music.

A fun song in the style of an American Folk Song to link with the Year 1 topic of 'Families Past and Present.' We danced the gallop, created accompaniments with class room instruments and generally had a 'blast' singing this song.

This song was written for Joss Innocent Landers of St Joseph's R.C. Primary School in Hertford. Joss is a really experienced Nursery Teacher and was desperate for a new Alphabet Song having become heartily sick of the 'Twinkle, Twinkle' American Song that ends with the sound 'Zee' and not 'Zed' as we say in England. I've included a chorus with a simple hand jive so the children can practise their rhythmic skills as well as having lots of fun.

A thought provoking song in two parts mixing old and new and different languages whilst singing of the need for all nations to live together peacefully and stop 'The Drum Beats of War!'

This was written to introduce the fabulous 'Shakespeare Rocks' musical written by Steve Titford and published by 'Musicline Musicals.' We needed a song to start the show with a bang and what better than a 'Rock 'n' Roll' number littered with Shakepeare quotes to get the party started. The children had great fun singing and dancing to this song.

This was written as an extra song to add to the fantastic 'Shakespeare Rocks' by Steve Titford published by 'Musicline!' This is a fabulous show and I would highly recommend it. 'Just Like Romeo and Juliet' could stand alone as a song linking to a topic on Shakespeare or the Tudors and it also contains the odd moral or two. The children performed this with a Tudor like dance in the chorus.

A sweet simple song written for 'Playgroup' children using the tune of the well known nursery rhyme 'Three Blind Mice.' The lyrics have been changed to fit in with a 'Mini Beast' theme and tell of a lady bird wearing ' A red dress with polka dots.'

A revised version of a short song written in the 90's for a nursery class. I have included more verses exploring the amazing variety of colours found in different species of dragonflies and given the children the opportunity to 'Dance now like dragonflies do,' in the chorus. As your children accompany the song with instruments observe how they pick out the complex rhythms of 6/8 time.

A busy bumble bee song where children learn to count backwards from 5, simple subtraction skills and practise vocal and listening skills whilst having great fun in the chorus moving in time to the music, buzzing and flapping like bumble bees. Why not listen to 'Flight of the Bumble Bee' by Rimsky Korsakov and encourage the children to select instruments to create their own 'Bumble Bee music? A great addition to a topic on Mini-Beasts

A slow, sweet, simple song to help children be aware of different tempos in music whilst learning a few 'snail facts' as they sing. Children could accompany this song with instruments selecting appropriate rhythmic patterns and then create their own snail music.

A fun but simple Rock 'n' Roll Song with plenty of opportunity for movement and actions telling the story of a worm who lives 'under the ground but loves to move to that rock 'n' roll sound.' Children will have a ball joining in with this song and it's a great addition to a topic on Mini-Beasts.

The soft shoe shuffle lament of a poor lonely slug in search of some tender loving care even though he admits 'I eat all the lettuces grown by your Dad' in the lyrics. A short but fun song that children will love. Suitable for use with Play Groups, E.Y.F.S and K.S.1. and a great addition to a topic on Mini Beasts. The children will love not only singing the song but could create their own dance to accompany the idiom of the music and have great fun accompanying the song with instruments.
