This song can stand alone as a topic song for the summer or as a piece to develop playing an instrument. The example on the video uses a xylophone and glockenspiel. Any tuned instrument could be used though.the teaching will range over a few weeks. For those teachers less confident, I suggest a tambourine in the chorus.
