Hey Lolly

A fantastic song for learning names as each name is repeated several times during the course of the song!!!

This song can be used for improvising in 3 ways.

Instead of the word 'Lolly' children can substitute:

  • The name of a classmate
  • A word (can even be an action!)
  • Made-up words/syllables

Also useful for preparing and practising:

  • The rhythmic element 'tum-ti'.
  • The melodic element 'fa'.
