Hickory Dickory Dock

"Hickory Dickory Dock" is a great song for students to experience beat in a 6/8 time signature.
Actions can be made up to fit the words.
After "the clock struck one", during the pause, students can sing a sound like a clock striking. The song can be repeated replacing "one" with other numbers up to twelve.
