Jack Sprat

This English nursery rhyme contrasts quavers and dotted quavers throughout the song.
Full of large intervals, it can be tricky for children to sing, but it's a great one for them to listen to.
As an activity, you might like to play the highest and lowest notes in the song before you start and have children indicate when they hear those notes again.
