Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes

This fun, boppy song is great for:

Getting active!
Teaching the rhythmic element 'too' (minim/half note).
Teaching the melodic element 'fi'.
Teaching tempi terms - hold up flash cards with tempi terms (e.g. adagio, allegro, moderato etc.) and have students sing the song with actions at the designated speed!
Singing major arpeggio (d-m-s-d').
Practising octave leaps (d'-d).
